It's been a while since I've posted a new pattern and I figured a Jack Skellington Rattle is quick little pattern and fun to make!
 |
| Rattle inserts |
Materials
Yarn size 4 white & black (I used Red Heart Super Saver)
Needle for weaving ends and making face
Fiberfill
Rattle insert (mine are 22mm)
Abbreviations
mr - magic ring
ch - chain
sc - single crochet
sc2tog - single crochet 2 sts together, decrease
BLO - back loop only
All terms American. If pattern reads “sc, sc2tog, 2sc” it would be read as, “ single crochet, single crochet 2 stitches together, 2 single crochet in the next stitch”, directions are to be repeated to end of row/round unless otherwise noted. As with any pattern, be sure to read through once before beginning, and don’t forget to mark your rounds! (I use a bit of contrasting yarn) This is an original pattern by me, Anna Wilson 2018.
You may do whatever you want with your completed Jack Skellington Rattle, play with it, start a cool band with rattles, or sell/gift them. I only ask that you not claim this pattern as your own, I worked hard to design my Jack Skellington Rattle.
