Hello everyone! Do you like amigurumi? Me! Today I’m sharing a free pattern to make a cute amigurumi rattle. This pattern is ideal for beginners as it includes a detailed step by step to guide you through each stage of the process. 

Also, you can customize the rattle in your own style and choose your own color of wool. I hope you enjoy making your own giraffe amigurumi and share your creations with me!

A wooden ring is all you need to make the giraffe  rattle . These rings are usually one size. You should shape the amigurumi giraffe according to this size. The most important part that you should pay attention to when knitting is the part where the amigurumi is combined with the ring. You need to knit tight enough.
