Tips & safety

— Embroider the eyes as demonstrated in the pattern for toys intended for infants; avoid small detachable parts that could be a choking hazard.
— Securely fasten the rattle and check all knots and seams before giving the toy to a baby.
— Use a washable yarn and follow care instructions for the yarn you used; test a small swatch if unsure.
