I have been trying unsuccessfully to download the pdf for crotchet animal baby rattles but it never takes me to the correct link. How can I purchase this product?
Hola. Muy lindos los amigurumis. Me gustaría saber. Dónde coloca el sonajero. Y cuáles usas. Puede colocar una foto por favor gracias.👌😄
hello from Uruguay, I am knitting the head of the rattle and I find the diameter of it a bit long.
In my case, after making al the increases, my head measures 7 cm of diamter. That is why I would like to know the how long is the diameter of the head ?
I am knitting with a 3 mm hook, perhaps the thread is wider than yours and I should make less increases. What is your opinion ? Regars, Andrea
Where can I buy the pattern for these rattles? I don’t see them in your shop. I want a printed copy for a car trip. Thanks.
Ik zou graag het patroon in het Nederlands willen afdrukken maar dit lukt niet. Weet iemand hoe ik dit kan doen?
vind de Amigurums leuk
Thank you very much for your rattle designs. I’ll make them now.I only hope they come out as good as yours.I hope I get those capsules…..thanks once again💕
Where do you get the capsules with beads that is talks about? Or are there other options for what makes it rattle?
It is placed in the head 🙂
How did you do the pigs nose?
I would use the pattern for the dog’s spot or the bear’s muzzle. Both are 6sc in magic ring, then 2sc in each st foe the second row. (12 stitches total)
Love all of your toys, love this one the rattle for my new nephew
How long are these when finished? The head looks so big on mine.
It depends on your yarn weight and hook size 🙂
Thank you very much for sharing the patterns. I’m loving the app!!
Could you share the patttern for the nose/mouth of the pig rattle, please? This is my first Amigurumi project and I’m a bit lost…
thanks!!
I would use the pattern for the dog’s spot or the bear’s muzzle. Both are 6sc in magic ring, then 2sc in each st foe the second row. (12 stitches total)
Thank you so much for sharing! The little animals are sooooo cute! I’m going to make a set for the 2 little girls next door.
is this sport weight or worsted?
Light worsted
Hermosos los trabajos felicitaciones
I’m not sure if I start the body first or the head. Please help. I want to make these rattles for my new grandson for Christmas. Thank you.
Hi Lorrie, the pattern is started with the head first 🙂
I would love to make some of these to sell to raise funds for helping victims of the recent earthquake here in Mexico City. Is this allright with you?
Hi Rowena, please read the copyright notice here https://amigurumi.today/about/
Hi,
Love your amigurumis, just started making one. I have one question how do you attach the small things like the ears etc?
Sew them on tightly using tapestry needle 🙂
What kind of yarn are you supposed to use? Is it the cotton for doilies?
This is 4 ply yarn.
Where can I find the plastic capsules for the beads?
You can use capsules from small toys, for example these https://goo.gl/Js4BkJ or like these https://goo.gl/rc8Sxr
