This is my Bee toy rattle pattern. It’s so adorable and easy for a child to hold and carry. This crocheted baby toy will help the child feel secure and beloved. And makes for some super cute baby photos! It’s made with a super soft chenille yarn and cotton yarn.
Have fun crocheting and I would love it so much if you would pin this post or share it on facebook! It would mean the world to me!

Stuff the head firmly. If your toy is to be a rattle you will add the rattle box inside the head in between the toy filling. If you want your eyes to be really secure I recommend embroidering them now so you can tie the yarn off inside before continuing.
Change to yellow chenille yarn and a 3,5mm crochet hook.

Cut your yarn and sew the hole closed. Fasten your ends.
Take white cotton yarn and sew the narrow middle part of the wing to the yellow chenille part of the body. Make sure you sew it on to the back of the bee. Secure all your ends.
