Crochet Lion Baby Rattle

Make a super fun and cute crochet lion baby rattle in most admirable colors following this video tutorial.

 

Requirements:

  • Choose your preferred yarn and corresponding crochet hook, a tapestry needle, stuffing material, a ring for the rattle, and a scissor.

Head

Create a magic ring and work in continuous rounds. Start with 6 single crochet (sc). Then increase by crocheting 2 sc in each stitch for several rounds. Follow the amigurumi circle formula to shape the head.

Ears (x2)

Start similar to the head but smaller. After reaching the desired size, fold the earpiece and crochet together to join the opposite sides.

Snout

Create this like the ears, but you add several increases at the start of each round. Resulting in a round piece slightly oval compared to the ears.

Mane

The mane is created by working slip stitches into the surface of the head, then adding two rounds of double crochets and increasing in each stitch.

Handle/Teaser Ring Cover

Start with 21 chains, then work around 6 rows of 20 single crochet. Sew this onto your ring.

Assembly

  • Stitch the ears and snout on the head.
  • Insert the lion head through the teaser ring.
  • Secure the handle cover to the lion head tightly so it doesn't slide on the ring.

Finishing Touches

With black and white thread, create eyes and a nose on the lion's snout.

Crochet Hippo Teething Rattle

With its irresistible charm and an endearing smile, this Crochet Hippo Teething Rattle is sure to become a fun companion for any teething tot!

Materials Needed:

  • Rainbow cotton yarn, size 2 fine (color A for the body, off-white and yellow for the flower)
  • 2.5 millimeter crochet hook
  • Scissors
  • Darning needle
  • Stitch marker
  • Wooden teething ring
  • Rattle inserts
  • Safety eyes
  • Fiberfill for stuffing

Stitches Used: Magic ring, single crochet (sc), half double crochet (hdc), double crochet (dc), slip stitch (sl st), increase (inc), decrease (dec).

Head and Snout:

  1. Start with Snout: Chain 8, skip the first chain, and then increase in the next, single crochet across the next 5 chains, place an increase in the last chain. Flip your work to single crochet along the bottom of the chains, following the same pattern.
  2. Head: Progress with single crochets and increases as specified, forming a round shape for the head. The pattern involves a mix of stitching techniques to create a circular head, then fill it with fiberfill and add rattle inserts.

Eyes and Eye Detail:

  • After the snout, the tutorial indicates moving on to rows shaping the head, where you'll add safety eyes between rows 7 and 9 (or as preferred), using stitch markers to aid placement.
  • Use a darker yarn to embroider around the safety eyes to add definition.

Nostrils:

  • The nostrils are crafted by selecting points on the snout. Use a contrast color yarn and the increase stitch method around a stitch marker or pin to form each nostril.

Assembly:

  • Once the head is shaped with added fiberfill to the desired firmness, finishing touches like the decorative flower (if chosen) and attaching the head to the crochet-covered teething ring are detailed.
  • The teething ring wrap is created in part two of the series, with instructions on wrapping the yarn around the wooden ring for a soft, chewable surface.

Finishing Touches:

  • Add optional decorative elements like a crochet flower to the head for added cuteness.

Additional Notes:

  • The pattern is split into two parts, where the first focuses on creating the head, adding the eyes, nostrils, and filling. The second part, as mentioned, includes creating the ears, wrapping the teething ring, and compiling all parts together.
  • The creator emphasizes using a smaller hook for amigurumi projects to ensure tight stitches that don't allow the filling or rattle inserts to show through or escape.
