Seahorse Teether

"This sweet seahorse teether is a cuddly new friend for your baby, with a teething ring wrapped up in its tail. You can also make it as a stuffed toy, without the teething ring. It’s made in Red Heart Baby Hugs yarn, which is certified as having been tested to be free from harmful levels of over 300 substances! It works up really quickly. The body is worked all in one piece, and the fin is worked separately and sewn on."

Crochet HookH/8 or 5 mm hook

Yarn Weight(4) Medium Weight/Worsted Weight and Aran (16-20 stitches to 4 inches)

Crochet Gauge16 sc x 18 rows = 4 inches. Exact gauge is not critical. It’s best to use the smallest hook you are comfortable with for the medium yarn. Your stitches should be a bit tight, so the stuffing doesn’t come out.

Finished SizeAbout 8 inches long when complete, not counting teething ring. Size will vary depending on your gauge and finishing (how tightly you curl the tail, etc).
