Penguin Baby Rattle

"Crochet this cute and easy penguin rattle for the baby in your life. Don’t let this project fool you, it’s much easier than it looks. The body of the rattle is created just like a wreath base in one long, flat piece, then seamed. The little feet and wings are sewn on and the head includes a large jingle bell (so it’s not a choking hazard even if it gets out) and a bit of stuffing. It works up very quickly and would make the perfect gift for a little one in your life. Red Heart Baby Hugs is one of my favorite yarns for baby makes because it’s been tested to be free from harmful levels of over 300 substances.
