Hand crocheted baby rattle



This little character caught my eye immediately! I love the soft look of these sweet crocheted rattles and, of course, they look super safe to me, with no buttons or hard pieces that might detach. The colours used are soft and warm.
The maker is Kia Hing Fay who lives in Queensland. She is part Scandinavian, part Chinese and part Scottish! She produces her toys according the the Danish idea of 'hygge' - homely, warm and loving things. Kia also produces and sells original child-friendly applique kits and unique hand-carved stamps. A very clever lady!
The rattles are made from Australian merino wool and felt, and use hand embroidery for the features. The rabbit rattle above can be purchased online or globally through Kia's Etsy shop for AU$39.
