Please note this is for a digital pattern and not a finished product.

This baby rattle was inspired by my original design of Trenton Turtle.

It is a simple and quick make and I believe a beginner could make this.
The stitch technique uses a yarn under/yarn over single crochet but you do not have to do it that way. I prefer this technique as it tightens up the stitches and you see no holes through your work.
The pattern uses all single crochet stitches and slip st for the eye work. Also a little face shaping which is shown how to do in pattern.I used a 25 gram ball for my main colour with a little yarn to spare. You will need scrap colour for the eyes in black, whatever eye colour you choose and white. You will also need scrap colour for the turtles spots. Cotton thread for the smile.

Yarn Used: Scheepjes Catona
