This gorgeous Butterfly Baby Rattle Crochet Pattern makes a wonderful gift for your lovely newborn. The toy develops baby’s touch, hearing and fine motor skills.
Use organic cotton yarn to surround your little one with only the purest things!
Supplies:
- Yarnart Begonia (100% cotton, 170 m / 50 g). You’ll need three colors for eyes (white, black and blue or green) and six more colors for the butterfly itself. All colors are up to you!
- Simple plastic rattle of 35 mm diameter. If you don’t have such a big one, use the smaller one and put it into the tail.
- Stuffing
- Two 8-10 mm wooden beads for antennae (put them inside). If you don’t have them, just stuff these parts firmly.
- Sewing needle
- 1.75-2.0 mm crochet hook

Abbreviations:
sc = single crochet
ch = chain
st = stitch
sl st = slip stitch
inc = increase (2 sc in one stitch)
dec = decrease (2 sc together)
(..) = repeat the space in brackets the given number of times
[..] = total number of stitches
Work in continuous rounds, don’t join. Use a yarn marker.
Start crocheting with a head:
Rnd 1: 6 sc in magic ring or in the second ch from hook [6]
Rnd 2: (inc) repeat 6 times [12]
Rnd 3: (sc in next st, inc) repeat 6 times [18]
Rnd 4: (sc in next 2 st, inc) repeat 6 times [24]
Rnd 5: (sc in next 3 st, inc) repeat 6 times [30]
Rnd 6: (sc in next 4 st, inc) repeat 6 times [36]
Rnd 7: (sc in next 5 st, inc) repeat 6 times [42]
Rnd 8-17 [= 10 rounds]: sc in all 42 st [42]
Don’t fasten off. We’ll come back to this part.
Make the eyes. It’s easier to sew them when the head is not ready.
 
It looks so pretty! I love it.
Where do you get your plastic rattles?
You can use any small plastic container with beads or cherry stones 🙂
Very lovely! Would want to do it.
Hello 😉
How do I get this ‘butterfly baby rattle’ pattern for free?
Hi Karin 🙂 You can view the patterns for free on our website and mobile app. PDF version itself is not free. Because it takes a lot of time to prepare the patterns. So, in spite of this fact all people who can’t pay for PDF patterns can view them on the website and make wonderful toys. We don’t hide the instructions. Hope for your understanding 🙂
Awsome awsome awsome…..this help me alot and i make one butterfly( with some changes ) for my lil baby girl…thank u soooooooo much for sharing it …GOD bless you
I really don’t understand round 12 of the wings 🙁
Hi Tamara, which part of Rnd 12 is unclear?
Hi! I don’t understand the union of the two parts and where it’s says “it’s necessary to leave 1 stitch of each part between them”.
I tried to do it but at the end I have 4 stitches left 🙁
Hi! I don’t understand the union of the two parts and where it’s say that it’s necessary to leave 1 st of each part between them.
At the end I should have 49 st + 2 st between parts but if I count the first 13 st + 1 dec + 10 st + 1 dec + 9 st + 1 dec + the last 12 st, I got 47 st total.
I tried to do it but at the end I have 4 st left. I’m a mess 🙁
Hi Tamara, 2 st between the parts are left when you joining them together. These two stitches are not included in the next round.
I did it, so in the bigger part of the wing, crochet 13 sts only in that part, then do a decrease in the smaller one, making it connect, then the stitch right after it, skip it and st in the one after the st you skipped, repeat for the other part of connecting the wing. I ended up with 47 sts after crocheting the last 12 sts I had remainder of 2 sts (I had a marker and the marker was on the 2nd st.) So I crocheted 2 more to fill the remainders and got 49 sts + 2. So note in the future, you might have to do 14 sts instead of 12.
Hi, thanks for pattern. I have done it and looks so cute but i cant do the wings 🙁 really confused…
Hi, in the fourth ball of the body, it says rounds 52-57 (=5 rounds). it is 6 rounds 🙂
Muchas gracias por esas explicaciones muy faciles de seguir. …voy a intentar !

4 ply is better, but it depends on your project and desired toy size 🙂

All Done and the result is beyond wonderful, thank you
Is the decreases of the wing supposed to move? Or are the decrease stitches have to stay on top of each other?
