Thank you for understanding. **

This pattern is for two different sized blocks- 4” and 3”.
Materials:
● F-hook
● Worsted weight yarn of any colors (I used primary colors for babies eyes.)
● Polyfill
● Felt- if you want to sew or glue letters on
● Container to hold beads, beans, coins, clips or anything that will move around inside
● Hot Glue or other strong adhesive to glue the container shut and add felt.
● Toothpicks or safety pins to hold the blocks together while you sew them so you don’t
accidentally grab a side that doesn’t belong.

NOTE: You definitely want them to be squares so test it out. As you are crocheting,
stop periodically and fold the square into a triangle. When the sides are even, you
have a square. Tension is going to determine whether or not you go to the exact row I
went to. This makes it to where you don’t have to check your gauge and they will
match up when you sew them together.

Small block- Make 6
R1: ch13, sc 12, ch1 & turn
R2: sc across, ch 1 & turn
R3-10: repeat R2 (sc across, ch 1 & turn)
Total of approx. 11 rows
If the sides are not equal, you will need to remove or add rows. Fasten off. Sew in
tails, sew over them or tuck them in when you are stuffing the blocks.

Large block- Make 6
R1: ch21, sc 20, ch1 & turn
R2: sc across, ch1 & turn
R3-R17: repeat R2 (sc across, ch 1 & turn)
Total of approx. 18 rows.

If the sides are not equal, you will need to remove or add rows. Fasten off. Sew in
tails, sew over them or tuck them in when you are stuffing the blocks.
Sewing the squares together:
First of all, get your rattle glued and drying first.
Remember not to sew your block shut before you stuff it! (Yes, I did that twice.)
You may use a slip stitch to put the pieces together, but I found that single crocheting
them together makes them appear more square and keeps them from turning into a ball
when baby starts playing with them. I also recommend you hold a couple of squares
together with a pin or tie while you put this puzzle together.
Stuff these lightly so they don’t turn into balls.
Once you have sewn them together, tuck your tails in and you may glue any letters or
embroider smiley faces. Hope you enjoy this!
