Description
Sly the Fox Rattle just might be the cutest addition to the Sly the Fox Collection. It is a fun toy for playtime with your baby. The long slender body is perfect for little hands to grasp, and the rattler inside will attract their attention. This Sly the Fox Rattle will provide hours of entertainment for any baby that gets their little hands on it.

This crochet project is simple if you can work in the round. The head and body are made in one piece. The ears and snout are made separately and sewn on the head.

This pattern will teach you:

  • a modify single crochet stitch that is used for amigurumi
  • how to work with stripes in the round that don’t have a jog in them
  • how to do the invisible decrease stitch

All special stitches and techniques are described in detail in the pattern and some have video tutorials.
