I got the idea to knit this baby rattle for Lucy. I was so excited that it turned out ok. I had an old mitt rattle that was too tight on her hand so I took it out of the fabric and stuck it in this one.

I started with an icord by casting on 7. Then I increased as you would for a raglan sleeve on every stitch and knit in the round. I did the same thing 3 times till i ended up with like 40 stitches give or take a few. Then when I thought it was big enough I started decreasing and stuffing it before I ended up with just 10 stitches that I pulled together at the top. She loves it. Oh, I needed something hard to hold it up, so I broke a piece of a plastic hanger and stuffed it in there. It’s sorta floppy but Lucy loves it! she can hold on to it really well.

I tried to get a picture of her with it but she was just going to town. Here she is wacking her self in the head. too funny!
