This pattern creates a charming bunny baby rattle with a wooden teether ring, perfect for gifting or keeping.

Why You'll Love This Bunny baby rattle with teether ring Amigurumi Pattern
I absolutely love this pattern because it combines simple amigurumi shaping with a practical teether ring, creating something both pretty and useful. I enjoy how quick it is to make — you can finish one in an afternoon and gift it the same day. The pattern includes a video link and clear step-by-step photos which make the process relaxing and accessible. I also love the little finishing touches like the ruffled collar and tiny flower that bring so much personality to a small project. Making it feels rewarding and gives a handmade, safe toy perfect for little hands.
Switch Things Up
I love how easily this pattern adapts to different colors: try soft pastels for a baby girl look or gender-neutral tones for a modern nursery.
To make a smaller or larger rattle, change your yarn weight and hook size; use a finer yarn and smaller hook for a mini keychain version or bulky yarn for a chunky lovey.
I often swap the wooden ring for painted or dyed rings to match a nursery palette, but always ensure the finish is baby-safe and non-toxic.
Try adding a loop and clip to attach the rattle to a stroller or car seat; use a securely sewn fabric or crocheted loop to keep it safe.
You can embroider different facial expressions to change the bunny’s personality — a smiling mouth, sleepy eyes, or surprised brows make big differences.
For texture play, use a fuzzy or boucle yarn just for the collar or flower while keeping the head and ears smooth for easier washing.
I sometimes add a small bell or extra rattle inside the head for more sound, but make sure it is well enclosed and tested for safety.
Make matching sets by crocheting several bunnies in alternating colors and grouping them on a ring for a playful gift set.
If you want a fully washable toy, use cotton yarn and replace the wooden ring with a washable plastic teether ring rated for babies.
I also enjoy personalizing the rattle with embroidered initials on the collar or a tiny crocheted bow to make each piece a special keepsake.
Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them
✗ Skipping stitch counts during increases and decreases can easily throw off shaping; always count stitches at the end of each round to ensure accuracy.
✗ Not stuffing evenly in the head before inserting the rattle ball may cause lumps and misshapen features; stuff gradually and shape as you go for a smooth finish.
✗ Sewing parts loosely will make the toy unsafe for babies; sew all pieces tightly and weave in ends securely to prevent detachment.
✗ Using a looser gauge than recommended produces a floppy cover that won’t hug the wooden ring properly; check your gauge and use a 2.00 mm hook or smaller if needed.
