All by changing a few details and colors. The pattern is worked in worsted weight yarn, making it a perfect project for using up your scrap yarn stash. Choose cotton or polyester yarn based on the texture you prefer and the durability you need for baby play.
Stuff the rattle with fiber fill and add sound with a rattle insert, empty pill bottle, or even a squeaker.
This flexibility allows you to customize each toy not only by appearance but also by sound and feel. The finished items make charming additions to baby shower baskets, newborn photo shoots, or Halloween costumes, especially when matched with career-themed outfits.
If you love playful, themed crochet, this project is a must-try. With just a few small modifications, one pattern opens the door to endless gift-giving ideas.
From medical kits for babies born to nurses and doctors, to playful purses and professional briefcases, you’ll find yourself making one for every new arrival in your circle.
