RAINBOW HUMPTY EGGY-COSY CROCHET PATTERN
SIZE/GAUGE INFO
One Size (6 X 3 inches / 15 x 7.5 cm)
To fit an average large hens egg, creme egg or surprise egg.
Tension/Gauge based on a fairly tight tension of 12 stitches x 14 rows per 2” square
This Rainbow Eggy-Cosy pattern is a cute and easy to follow design based on my original Humpfree character with the bonus that it can used to keep your eggy breakfast warm, or as a cover for a creme or surprise egg to gift to your loved ones!
The Humpfree the Rainbow Humpty character was borne from the Locksdown of Easter 2020, as a cheerful and positive way to encourage creativity and hopefully to help people, especailly those with young children, to negotiate the ‘stay at home’ message of the covid pandemic. My first pattern Humpfree The Rainbow Humpty is also available in my pattern store so you can make your own cuddly Humpfree Humpty Toy too!
Designed to be followed by beginner or experienced crocheter alike, with colour coded written pattern instructions and pictorial tutorials to help you achieve a great outcome!
