Humphrey the Bonzo Hound

Humphrey is delightfully retro, the original pattern having

been adapted from one published in 1972 (when I was VERY

young!)

Here he’s made in blanket scraps with felt ears, but he would

look great made in almost any combination of fabrics.

You’ll need sufficient fabric to cut out the pieces shown on the

template (at whatever size you decide to make) plus stuffing

and cotton embroidery floss. I sewed my Humphrey by

machine, but you could hand sew if you prefer.

The patterns allow for 0.25” seam allowance, and be sure to

clip curves to make for a smooth finish when turning right side

out. When stuffing use small pieces of stuffing and work his

limbs into place as you go. If the stuffing goes lumpy, pull it

out, re-fluff and start again!

The pattern above is the original pattern – I didn’t cut an eye from

felt, but used French knots. Also I only cut two ear pieces from felt

and attached to either side of his head with blanket stitch. This

version of Humphrey is my copyright and must not be copied for

resale, though please feel free to share him with your friends.
