This pattern will create a baby toy in the form of a cube, with 4 animals on its sides: a giraffe, a lion, a rhino and an elephant.

You are free to make the cube sides bigger if you prefer. Do make sure all sides are the same, though.

You can use any yarn thickness you want, just as long as all the different colors are just as thick. I used a size 3.5 hook and the yarn for that size hook.

Make sure you use baby-safe yarn. I recommend using lint-free 100% cotton. There are brands that make special yarn for babies.

To make it the safest for a baby, I embroidered all the eyes, but you’re free to use safety eyes if you prefer.

Make it more fun to play with by inserting bells or squeakers inside the cube or the animals!

This is quite a big project so make some time for it!
