Jack Skellington Rattle ***free crochet pattern


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)

See Supply Links Page for links to yarn, safety eyes and tools used to create this project!

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.
