ARMS AND LEGS: Make two arms and legs from the second sock. Cut rectangular pieces, sew along the long sides and across one end. Turn and stuff. Sew the arms to the sides of the body and the legs to the bottom. The longer the arms and legs are, the cuter your doll will be. Tie yarn or ribbon around wrists and ankles.
HAIR: Make yarn pom poms (see [page 32]) and sew them to the top of the head.
DRESS: From the pattern designs on [page 29], make a pair of pants and tack them on Humpty Dumpty. A colorful cap can be made from pattern designs on [page 31]. If you decide to make shoes ([page 30]) bend the legs for feet, stitching the tuck.
