The Cleo rattle is a sweet photo prop for newborn pictures, especially for cat loving families! I combined inspiration from vintage illustrations and kawaii cats to create this adorable little friend. Cleo is the sister of Lola the Strawberry Cat Lovey.

This pattern is written in US terms and is comprised of a detailed 8-page PDF with detailed instructions and many photos to help guide you through making the rattle.

You are permitted to sell finished items made from this pattern. If you are selling finished items, please be sure they comply with the legal and safety requirements in your country. If the rattle is intended for use and play, please take extra care with the addition of safety eyes and jingley bells as they could pose a hazard to young children. I recommend embroidered eyes and rattles inside the head to make it safer for littles.
