This teddy bear rattle was crocheted spontaneously. For John, my little nephew, I was preparing another toy as a gift for Children’s Day. Month before I started to crochet sweet bunny with clothes. From the first single crochet my Victoria was very interested what it will be. From time to time she asked when I will finish. When everything was ready I said her, that it is a gift for John, but she was firmly opposed and stated, that she is the best candidate for this sweetie’s guardian 😀
Having no choice, I had to come up with something equally sweet, but this time also “quick”. This is how a rattling bear was created.
The crochet pattern came from my head, but to be honest, there is nothing really revealing there. The bear’s head is simple ball 😉 see for yourself!

I have been passionate about DIY since my childhood, and my innate patience and accuracy make the whole process of creation a lot easier for me and that gives me a lot of satisfaction and pleasure. During my first pregnancy I learnt how to sew, what resulted with few tutorials about sewing clothes for kids on the blog. In the beginning of my second maternity leave, I have learned how to crochet amigurumi from yt. I found out, that I really love it, that’s why so many blog posts describe my crochet creatures.
