This eye-catching crochet giraffe rattle is a great sensory toy for baby and oh so pretty to look at! Create it with all your love and care for your little one with the help of our step-by-step rattle crochet pattern.
One important note before you start – crochet toys with small plastic parts should not be given to children under the age of 3! We strongly recommend embroidering eyes instead of using plastic eyes. Better safe than sorry!

Buenas tardes.
Que calidad de hilo o lana debo utilizar.
Gracias
Cotton or semi cotton yarn
I bought the pattern for the Forest Spirit. But I’m confused where I start the legs. Do I crochet 9 and make the leg. Then count 18 and make nine and crochet other legal. But the legs look bigger.
Hi, I bought the pattern to do this lovely rattle toy. If I credit you as the designer, may I sell the finished products online? Thank you for your answer 🙂
Hi Ioana, yes, you can sell finished toys, but no more than 50 items per month.
Can i mix this and head of cuddle me fox? I just don’t know if head would be big enough? I hope that you understand what I mean.
Yes, you can 🙂 But please adjust the size of the ring according to the fox head.
It concerns me that you use plastic safety eyes on baby items. They really are not safe for children who chew and put things in their mouths. They do pull out of stitches and have a point that can damage them if they swallow it even with the back on
If you read it properly, you’ll see she highly recommends embroidering eyes if child is under 3.
Hi , your works are really amazing. Im beginner and i want to chrochet this rattle in smaller size . Can you help me please?is it good if i continue to round 6?
Please use thinner yarn and smaller hook, in that case your toy will be smaller.
Hi, could someone help me out with the semi-ring? When adding a single chain in the beginning of each round, is the stitch amount supposed to remain constant throughout the entire piece? I keep getting +1 stitch in every layer when I add that single chain and I guess the ring’s not supposed to get wider each round? Thanks in advance 🙂
Hello. Thank you for sharing this wonderful pattern. I was wondering if you have a giraffe doll along with this pattern? If so, can you share it with me. Hope to hear back to you soon.
Suggestions on the size for wooden ring?
I am starting to assemble the giraffe rattle. Where is the mouth supposed to be sewn? I don’t see a mouth on your sample.
Thank you btw, it’s so cute! I can’t wait to finish it.
I just finished mine and it looks adorable !!! Thank you ;))
I just finished my giraffe rattle! I love it! I wish I could post a picture!
I cannot print the pattern for some reason. It keeps showing a “Legal: message and prevents me from printing the pattern. Why?
