About Elephant Rattle
The reason Elephant Rattle is here is 3-dimensional and nothing else. It does not try to cover the next three jobs along, and we would rather it did not. The save count sits at 120, and a number that size usually means the file does what its preview promises. The designer behind it is Crafty Creations. No reviews either way, so the preview is doing all the work on this one.
Check the yarn weight and hook size against what is in your basket before you start — an amigurumi worked in the wrong weight comes out the wrong size and the stuffing shows through. We keep it filed mentally under baby rattle, which is the use that needs the least adjusting afterwards. Open it big before you commit. At thumbnail size every pattern on this shelf looks equally good, which is the problem with thumbnails.
It answers to amigurumi, baby toy, bells and bottom-up, and that spread of wording is worth noting: a file tagged this consistently usually behaves the way the preview suggests. Put next to the usual requests here — crochet stuffed animals, teddy bear nursery theme, vintage teddy bear nursery, doll handmade and handmade doll house — this one covers the plain version of the job, which is the version people need most often. People after this usually search doll, plush, stuffed, animal and bear too, and the shelf is sorted so those all land in the same place. It is shelved with the rest of the amigurumi and toy patterns, and that is the quickest way to see what else sits in the same register before you settle on this one.

How to use this pattern
- Download the PDF from Creative Fabrica and check the yardage and hook size before you shop — a small gift rarely needs a full skein.
- Work the gauge swatch anyway on anything that has to fit, like a hat or a bracelet; on a stuffed toy you can skip it.
- Stuff toys firmer than feels right and close the seam with a ladder stitch — a gift gets squeezed, and loose stuffing shows within a week.
- Make the first one a week before you need it. The second one is always the one you give away.
