Elephant Baby Rattle

Details

Please note: This is a CROCHET PATTERN (PDF), NOT the finished toy.
Language: English (US-terms)

The finished toy is approximately 12-14 cm high and the head diameter is about 5-6 cm (without ears). The weight of the finished rattle is about 40-45 grams.
Gauge is important for size! If you crochet loosely, the toy may be 1.5x larger than estimated.

Materials and tools for crocheting:

4-ply sport weight yarn* (amounts are approximate**), 1 skein = 50 grams:
YarnArt Jeans gray #49 or #80 – 25-30 grams (~1/2 of skein) ;
YarnArt Jeans mustard #84 – 5 grams (1/10 of skein);
* I used: YarnArt Jeans (55% cotton + 45% Acrylic), 174 yards (160m), 1.76 Oz (50 g)
**Yarn consumption can increase up to 1.5 times when crocheting with yarn over (YO) way. And the toy will have a bigger size.

Hook size 2 mm (or other suitable for the yarn).
Black (or dark gray) and pink threads for eyes and blush embroidery.
Blunt-ended yarn needle.
Thin needle for eyes embroidery.
Scissor or yarn snip.
Polyester stuffing.
Rattle ball for toys 2.8-3.8 cm in diameter (I use 2.8 cm. With a larger diameter, you will get a louder sound and lighter weight, but may be more difficult to stuff).
Optional: tweezers or wooden stick for stuffing, stitch marker.
