Your little firefighter will love playing with this rattle shaped like Dad’s (or Mom’s) axe. Make a racing axe for your little lumberjack or a double-blade axe for your little Viking or Renaissance fan. Book also includes tomahawk rattle pattern and battle axe rattle pattern (with instructions for double or single blade).

These rattles make great shower gifts, photography props or accessories for baby’s Halloween costume.

Very versatile pattern. Use worsted weight yarn from your scrap basket (cotton or polyester). You can use an empty pill bottle to make the rattle or buy a rattle insert. I have also made them with a squeaker for a dog toy. Makes a great baby shower gift.

If you would like an axe rattle in a style you don’t see here, please feel free to send me a message, and I’ll see what I can create for you.

Skill level: Easy

Finished items measure approximately 8 “ tall by 4.5” inches wide for single blade and approximately 7” wide for double blade.
