If you’ve been looking for the perfect handmade baby gift, this is it. A teddy bear crochet teether is the kind of thing new parents genuinely reach for — it’s cute enough to display in the nursery and functional enough to hand right to baby. And because it attaches to a wooden teething ring, it’s easy for little hands to hold onto.

Whether you’re a brand new crocheter or you’ve been hooking for years, you’ll find this pattern satisfying from start to finish — and you might just end up making a few of them.
