Crochet Pattern Bubble Ring Rattle

Babies love a rattle. Inspired by bubbles, I designed this rattle to look like a bubble wand: a circle with oodles of bubbles pouring out. The bubbles contain a rattle insert, so there’s no doubt baby will adore this toy, regardless of whether he grasps the whole bubble inspiration thing.

Crochet Techniques: Working In The Round

Particularly when you’re new to crochet, working in the round can be confusing. There is no clear indication where the round begins and ends, so it’s easy to get lost. I recommend that you place a stitch marker in the last stitch at the end of the round. Then, after you’ve crocheted the stitches for the next round, you should end up exactly above the stitch marker. Move your stitch marker to the end of each round to keep track of where you are.
