Babies love toys with different textures, smiling faces and noise. This butterfly has all that with it’s variously textured body and wings, rattle and squeakers. I used soft DK yarn that’s also washable to make it easy to care for too.

I had planned to give it to my friend’s baby but my daughter is refusing to let it go!

Knitted in DK yarn using 3mm needles with a rattle insert in the body and squeakers in the wings. Made using simple increases and decreases combined with slipped and crossed stitches.
