Product Description
Your little firefighter will love playing with this rattle shaped like Dad's (or Mom's) axe. Make a racing axe for your little lumberjack or a double-blade axe for your little Viking or Renaissance fan. Book also includes tomahawk rattle pattern and battle axe rattle pattern (with instructions for double or single blade).
These rattles make unique baby shower gifts, photography props or accessories for baby's first Halloween costume.
Very versatile patterns. Use worsted weight yarn from your scrap basket (cotton or polyester). You can use an empty pill bottle to make the rattle or buy a rattle insert. I have also made them with a squeaker for a dog toy.
If you would like an axe rattle in a style you don't see here, please feel free to send me a message, and I'll see what I can create for you.
Skill level: Easy
Finished items measure approximately 8 " tall by 4.5” inches wide for single blade and approximately 7" wide for double blade.
Axe Baby Rattles Ebook by Lisa Ferrel
What is Being Made
This downloadable PDF ebook contains patterns for five different crocheted baby rattles, each designed with a distinct axe theme. The collection includes a Firefighter Axe Baby Rattle, Lumberjack Axe Baby Rattle, Viking Axe Baby Rattle, Tomahawk Axe Baby Rattle, and Battle Axe Baby Rattle. These are soft, safe toys intended for infants and young children, featuring rattle inserts to create sound and sensory engagement.
Techniques Used
The patterns employ fundamental crochet construction techniques suitable for beginners. The designs are built using basic crochet methods to create three-dimensional toy shapes. Each rattle is constructed to accommodate a rattle insert mechanism, requiring assembly techniques to safely incorporate the sound-making component into the finished crocheted form.
Stitches Used
The ebook includes a crochet abbreviations reference section to guide crafters through the specific stitches required. While the exact stitch list is not fully detailed in the provided content, the patterns are classified as beginner-level, indicating the use of fundamental crochet stitches accessible to those new to the craft.
Materials
The patterns call for DK weight yarn in small amounts, allowing crafters to use yarn scraps or partial skeins from their stash. A crochet hook appropriate for DK weight yarn is required. Rattle inserts are necessary components for completing the toys, which the designer notes are available for purchase separately. The beginner-friendly nature of the project makes it accessible to crocheters of all experience levels.
Design Credit
These patterns are the original designs of Lisa Ferrel from My Fingers Fly. Commercial use of finished products is permitted with proper credit to the designer in product listings.
