Babies love a rattle and bright colours combined with an easy to grip handle make this a definite hit, of course the cute face doesn’t hurt ;-).

I have used 2 rattle inserts to make it extra noisy but one would be fine. It is knitted flat then seemed (I recommend mattress stitch but use another method if you prefer) and all features are embroidered to be safe in case of chewing. I have used machine washable yarn, stuffing and rattle inserts as babies have been known to be messy on occasion.

Happy Knitting :-)
