Today, the new daily crochet pattern Amigurumi Dexter The Dragon Teether Rattle Free Crochet Pattern, I want to give you some information about this pattern;
To make this teether rattle you will need :
• 2.5mm crochet hook
• 100% cotton DK yarn (I use the Ricorumi brand) in the following colours:
pale green (Ricorumi shade 045 [pastel green] or 046 [light green] – the photo on the front shows the two different colours side-by-side); green (Ricorumi shade 047); purple (Ricorumi shade 016); lilac – optional (Ricorumi shade 017); pale pink – optional (Ricorumi shade 008)
• scrap black yarn for embroidering eye details
• 7cm diameter natural wood teething ring
• soft toy filling
• rattle box insert

The height of the finished rattle is around 18cm. The size of your rattle will differ if you choose to use a different size crochet hook or teething ring, or if you use different weight yarn.

Tip: cut all of the tails (except the green working yarn) fairly short and tuck them inside the ear as you sew them together to hide them.
Place the two circles together, with the right side facing out. Using the green yarn that is still attached, crochet the two pieces together, matching the stitches on both pieces.
Fold the ear in half lengthwise and sew together at the top (2 stitches only – see picture) to bring into shape. Fasten off and leave a long tail for sewing / assembly.

-R19 and are one stitch away from the horns. Sew firmly to the head with green yarn. - Lightly stuff the smaller purple spikes or leave them empty. Place the first spike between the bigger horns, and covering R20
-R22. The other two spikes should be in line with the first one, and leave two rounds of stitches between each spike. - To make the nostrils, you are going to crochet surface half double crochet stitches across the top of the work.
a) First, work out where the nostrils are going to start and end (between R4 -R5 and three
stitches across, 5 stitches between), and place pins to remind yourself (see picture).
b) Attach the green yarn and complete 6 hdc stitches – two up, two across, two down.

- Embroider eye details over R10 -R12 with two strands of black yarn.
