CROCHET LEVEL:
Easy / Intermediate

MEASUREMENTS APPROX.:
12 cm (4.5 inches), with FINE weight yarn (cotton and acrylic blend, 160m/50g (174yds/50g)) and 2.5 mm hook (US size C/2–E/4)

THAT’S WHAT YOU NEED:
– Yarn. I used fine weight cotton and acrylic blend, 160m/50g (174yds/50g);
– 2.5 crochet hook or according to the yarn;
– Some brown lace yarn (or floss) for eyes and nose;
– Soft stuffing;
– Yarn needle, sewing needle, scissors;
– 10mm (0.4 inch) bell for a rattle sound;
– Stitch markers.

NOTE:
You can use this pattern to make larger or smaller rattle by using finer or bulkier yarn. Don’t forget to choose the right hook size (you can pick crochet hook a size smaller than suggested on your yarn label, so you’ll get more tightly fabric). Also, you may need to adjust size of the safety eyes.
