Materials Needed

• Yarn: Worsted weight cotton yarn in cream, pink, and peach
• Hook: 3.5 mm crochet hook
• Other Supplies: Scissors, yarn needle for weaving in ends, and stuffing for the bear head

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Head

1. Using the cream yarn, start with a magic ring. To create a magic ring, wrap the yarn around your fingers to form a loop, insert your hook into the loop, yarn over, and pull up a loop.
2. Chain 1, then work 6 single crochets (sc) into the magic ring. Pull the tail of the yarn to tighten the ring.
3. For the next rounds, increase by working 2 sc into each stitch around. You will do this for a total of 3 rounds, which will give you 24 sc.
4. After reaching 24 sc, work even (no increases) for 4 rounds. This will form the body of the bear head.
5. Next, you will decrease evenly until you have 6 sc remaining. To decrease, work 2 sc together in each stitch around.
6. Once you have 6 sc left, stuff the head with your chosen stuffing material. Make sure it’s firm but not overly stuffed.
7. Finally, close the head by pulling the yarn tight and weaving in the end.

2. Ears (make 2)

1. With the cream yarn, chain 2.
2. In the second chain from the hook, work 6 sc. This will form the base of the ear.
3. For the next round, increase to 12 sc by working 2 sc in each stitch around.
4. Fasten off and leave a long tail for sewing.
5. Sew the ears securely to the top of the bear head.

3. Eyes and Nose

1. Using black yarn, embroider two small eyes onto the bear head. Position them evenly apart to give your bear a cute expression.
2. For the nose, use pink yarn to embroider a small triangle shape in the center of the bear's face, just below the eyes.

4. Spiral Handles (make 3)

1. Using pink yarn, chain 20.
2. In each chain stitch, work 3 sc across. This will create a spiral effect.
3. Fasten off and repeat the process with cream and peach yarn to create a total of 3 spiral handles.

5. Assembly

1. Securely attach the spiral handles to the bear head. You can space them evenly around the head for a balanced look.
2. Weave in all ends using a yarn needle to ensure your rattle is neat and tidy.
