Your little firefighter will love playing with this rattle shaped like Dad’s (or Mom’s) axe.

These rattles make great shower gifts, photography props or accessories for baby’s Halloween costume.

Very versatile pattern. Use worsted weight yarn from your scrap basket (cotton or polyester). You can use an empty pill bottle to make the rattle or buy a rattle insert. I have also made them with a squeaker for a dog toy. Makes a great baby shower gift.
