Do you ever get an idea for something you want to make in your head and then you can’t rest until you’ve made it? I get like that sometimes, and randomly this crochet Mr Bump toy is the latest example.
We’ve got a few Mr Men touches in our nursery and we even had some Mr Men stuff at our wedding (we gave each guest a book specially chosen for them as a favour). I decided I wanted to make a Mr Bump toy for our baby, but could I find a pattern online? Well, no, as it turned out. The only option I had was to write one myself, so that’s what I did.
As Mr Men are protected under copyright I’m giving this pattern away for free as I can’t sell it, but if like it and use it I would really appreciate if you don’t repost the pattern and instead link back to this post. Thanks! I’d also love to see any of your crochet Mr Bumps if you decide to make one so please tag me in on Twitter and Instagram.
