HUMPFREE THE RAINBOW HUMPTY PATTERN DROP!
Today 9am GMT
Humpfree the Rainbow Humpty is the mascot and brand logo of Hookanory and Hookanory Crochet Club and is the first pattern I ever published!
When I created my own PDF version for other sites, I colour coded the rounds to make it easy to follow - but here on Ribblr the formatting does that for you so I’m so excited to make Humpfree truly interactive!!!
RAINBOW LOVE & HOPE
The story of Humpfree The Rainbow humpty, and the pattern to make him, was borne from the Easter lockdown of 2020, designed with the intention of spreading some colour, creativity and cheer to those in ‘creative quarantine’ during Easter and the Covid lockdown in 2020.
It was my hope that the story would help kids in lockdown feel a bit safer and happier about staying indoors with a little Rainbow Humpty to keep them company!
Because of this I have pledged to always make sure it is possible to access a free copy of this pattern somewhere on my pattern selling sites, because his continued mission is to try and encourage people to take up the hook and make something fun. You can access this pattern for FREE on here @Ribblr by FOLLOWING ME!
STORY TIME!
This pattern comes complete with it’s own story-rhyme, so you can read all about the origin of Humpfree The Rainbow Humpty. I also narrated the story in a video on Youtube in the style of a bedtime story which I have uploaded a link to in my pattern info; or you can find it by checking out my Youtube channel Hookanory Crochet Club.
To be honest it’s a bit embarrassing because it was the first time I had ever talked to a camera and shown my face on YT, and I was super nervous and cringy; being a gen x-er it was well out of my comfort zone (…we can be a bit scared of these things ya know! ;) but hey, I did it, it’s out there and for those of you who don’t know the old English nursery rhyme Humpty Dumpty?, it was based on that, but with added Queen, cos she was on the throne when I wrote it and added women, because the original rhyme didn’t have any!
After the queen passed away, I did consider re-recording and editing the story, but I decided it was a snapshot in time, and an important time for us all worldwide, so I’ve left my take on it intact, a little egg-timer capsule lol xxx
