Bunny Rattle Crochet Pattern — Wooden Ring Baby Teether

A soft bunny head with long folded ears, a ruffled collar and a bow, mounted on a crochet-wrapped wooden ring — the baby-shower gift that gets photographed.

The Bunny Rattle is small, quick and unreasonably charming. The head is worked in a spiral with a rattle insert sealed inside, the wooden ring is wrapped in a crocheted strip so there is no bare wood on show, and the whole thing goes together in an evening.

Why You'll Love This Pattern:

• The gift that always lands — new parents keep these. It photographs beautifully, it hangs on a pram or a nursery hook, and it costs very little to make.
• Written with a safety note — the pattern tells you to embroider the eyes rather than use safety eyes for any child under three, and to check every seam before it goes anywhere near a baby. That matters on a toy like this, and plenty of rattle patterns skip it.
• Every round has its stitch count in brackets, head, ears, collar, ring cover and bow.
• The ring cover adapts to your ring — the pattern explains how to adjust the row count to the thickness of whatever wooden ring you have, so it wraps snugly instead of gaping.
• Boy or girl version — add the embroidered lashes and the bow, or leave them off.
• Simple stitches — magic ring, single crochet, increase, decrease, plus a few double crochets for the ruffled collar.
• Beautiful in a set — make three in different colours and hang them together; they sell brilliantly at markets.
