Baby Toys

I've been making these for a few out of town friends who have recently had babies. Its hard to see, but this one is black and white with pink rings. I made another one that was blue with yellow rings. I found the pattern on Ravelry, and used a bunch of cotton yarn that I had. The idea of putting a bell in it was great but the sound is a bit muffled due to all of the stuffing. The spaces between the yarn are a bit larger than I like but I used the smallest crochet hook that I have. I'm thinking that if it gets washed the yarn should shrink enough to close up the gaps where you can see the stuffing. Until I got used to doing it, it was hard to keep the number of stitches the same all the way around. Some of the rings are bigger in some spots than in others! Overall these were a fun quick project to make. I keep debating selling them, but I think I'd have to have people up front who wanted to buy one.
