This project is crafted from DK weight yarn, making it a quick and fun knitting experience. The mushroom rattle can be customized in a stunning array of colors; simply mix and match different color combinations and vary the density of the embroidered spots to create a unique look that reflects your style.

Worked seamlessly in one piece on two straight needles, this mushroom rattle is not only visually appealing but also extremely sturdy. Its thoughtful design is perfectly suited for tiny hands, allowing babies to grasp the stem comfortably while they chew, squash, and explore the plush mushroom shape. Plus, knitting it all in one piece ensures durability, making it a lasting keepsake.

For this project, any DK (8ply) weight yarn will work wonderfully, although we recommend opting for a high-quality cotton yarn to achieve the best results in terms of both appearance and longevity.

Once completed, the delightful mushroom rattle measures approximately 14cm tall, with a circumference of 31cm at its widest point and 11cm around the stem.
