Adorable Patterns for
Crochet Baby Rattles and Teethers
This curated collection features 33 of the best free patterns for crochet baby rattles and teethers. These cute crochet toys make beautiful and memorable gifts, and they help in developing babies’ hand-eye coordination.
When making any of these toys, it’s important to ensure they’re safe for babies to use. Use high-quality materials – free from toxic or harmful chemicals – and ensure you’re extra careful with any knots and loops.
Please note that some of these patterns specify the use of plastic safety eyes. Due to safety concerns, I think it is more appropriate to embroider the eyes when making toys for babies.
