About This Bunny baby rattle with teether ring Amigurumi Pattern
This pattern creates an adorable bunny baby rattle attached to a 6 cm wooden teether ring. The design combines a crocheted head with a hidden rattle ball, folded ears, a wrapped wooden ring body, a frilled collar, and a small decorative flower. Photo references and a linked video tutorial make each step clear and easy to follow.
The finished rattle is compact and perfect for little hands, combining the softness of yarn with the hardness of wood for sensory play. All pieces are designed to be sewn tightly for safety when used as a baby toy.
Why You'll Love This Bunny baby rattle with teether ring Amigurumi Pattern
I absolutely love this pattern because it turns a simple wooden ring into a charming, tactile toy that babies adore. I enjoy how the hidden rattle adds delightful sound while the wooden ring doubles as a teether. The small size makes it quick to crochet and perfect for gifting, and the step-by-step photos and video support make it accessible to new amigurumi makers. This pattern lets me add small personal touches — a tiny flower or different collar colors — to make each rattle unique and special.
Switch Things Up
I love to change up the colors to create different moods for this little bunny — pastel shades make a soft baby-safe look while bright colors create a playful toy.
I sometimes swap the suggested Sport weight yarn for a slightly bulkier yarn and a larger hook to create a chunkier, cuddlier rattle; this increases the overall size but keeps the same technique.
I often replace the wooden ring with a painted or patterned wooden ring for a more personalized finishing touch — just ensure the ring is baby-safe and smooth.
For a minimalist look I skip the collar and embroider a tiny heart or name on the head using contrasting yarn for a custom gift.
I like to make a matching set by crocheting several tiny flowers in different colors and attaching them around the collar for a garland effect.
If I want a safer option for very young babies I secure the rattle ball inside a small crocheted pouch before inserting so the ball cannot become exposed even if the head seam loosens.
I sometimes add small bells or a different noise maker instead of the plastic rattle ball for a gentler sound, but I always ensure it is secured inside the head and well padded to avoid hard contact.
To change the personality, I adjust the eye placement or move the nose slightly up or down — small changes in facial placement create very different expressions.
I like to experiment with embroidery styles for the muzzle: a simple straight nose or a small triangle nose shifts the style from modern to more classic amigurumi.
When gifting, I add a tiny bow or a small crocheted pacifier holder in a matching color to make a coordinated baby shower present that feels extra special.
Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them
✗ Skipping the instruction to stuff the head firmly before inserting the rattle ball; stuff gradually and securely before adding the rattle so it sits in place and the head keeps its shape.
✗ Not cutting the yarn with a long tail for sewing after rounds finish; leave a long tail at the end of pieces to make sewing parts together easier and more secure.
✗ Failing to wrap the wooden ring tightly with the body strip; measure and sew snugly around the ring so the body hugs the ring completely and does not shift during use.
✗ Placing the ears incorrectly between rounds 4 and 5 without pinning; use pins to mark placement and fold the ears lengthwise to create the dimple before sewing to ensure even symmetry and a neat finish.
