Squirrel Rattle Amigurumi Crochet Pattern (1)

Today I want to introduce you to the free amigurumi pattern for crocheting a rattle in the shape of a squirrel from Yana Rogozina. The size of the crocheted squirrel rattle is about 15 cm. The designer used YarnArt Jeans yarn and a 2 mm crochet hook to make this squirrel. You will also need a wooden ring with a diameter of 65 mm and a rattle. From the pattern description you will also learn how to crochet a collar to decorate our squirrel.

The finished part can be steamed a little with an iron. Next, we sew the snood right on the rattle, so it will sit tightly on the ring.

At the end, bend the collar and embroider the snowflake with white thread

Make 10 ch with an orange thread – Turn the work and, starting from the 2nd loop, crochet 9 sc – 1 LL and crochet back 9sc so we continue to crochet to the length you need. I have 8 rows

Assembly

Sew the snout to the front of the head.
Embroider the nose and eyes with black thread.
Attach the ears to the top of the head, between rows 6 and 11.
At the top of the head, create a crest with orange thread and embroider decorative details with white thread.
Sew the stand around the ring and tighten.
Pin the head to the first stand and sew tightly around it.
Sew the net and tail to the second stand.
Sew the head to the clamp N1. To do this, find the middle of the clamp and secure the head with pins. Then we sew in a circle so that the head is firmly held and not dangled on the ring Next, sew on the collar-snood. Sew the tail to the clamp N2. The squirrel is ready!
