Looking for a delightful amigurumi rattle for your little one? This Crochet Cute Rattle Giraffe Marty pattern is the perfect choice! With its colorful striped design and eye-catching details, this giraffe rattle will keep your baby entertained and engaged. The big nose, tiny eyes, and pink horns make this giraffe extra adorable. Since it’s a baby toy, I do not recommend using wire for the horns to ensure it’s safe for your baby.
Rattle Giraffe Marty Amigurumi Pattern
The ears and horns of the giraffe are perfectly symmetrical, while the spots are placed asymmetrically for a playful look. Creating amigurumi rattles can be a bit challenging, but this pattern offers detailed instructions to guide you through the process. These types of crochet rattle toys have become quite rare, and I’m happy to share this giraffe rattle pattern with you!
