Bunny Teether Lina

Bunny Teether Lina by Mammino

What is Being Made

The Bunny Teether Lina is a small crocheted teething toy designed for babies and infants. This beginner-friendly project creates a soft, tactile bunny-shaped teether that can be finished with a plastic or wooden loop attachment, making it safe and functional for teething relief. The finished piece is worked as a single, seamless construction, resulting in a smooth, comfortable toy for little hands.

Crochet Techniques and Construction

This pattern is crocheted entirely in the round, which means stitches are worked in continuous circular rows rather than in flat rows. The bunny is constructed as one unified piece, eliminating the need for assembly or seaming. This technique creates a smooth, finished appearance without visible seams that could be uncomfortable for a baby. The pattern uses increases and decreases strategically throughout the rounds to shape the bunny form.

Stitches Used

• Chain (CH): The foundation stitch used to begin the project
• Single Crochet (SC): The primary stitch throughout the pattern, worked in all stitches around in most rounds to create a dense, sturdy fabric
• Single Crochet 2 Together (SC2TOG): A decrease stitch used to reduce stitch counts and shape the bunny, particularly visible in rounds 17 and 19 where shaping occurs

Materials and Tools

This project requires a 2.5 mm crochet hook and approximately 180 yards (165 meters) of sport weight yarn, totaling about 50 grams or 1.76 ounces. The designer used ALIZE Cotton Gold Hobby yarn, though any sport weight yarn is suitable. Additional materials include a stitch marker for tracking rounds, scissors, a measuring tape, and a plastic or wooden loop for the teether attachment. Sport weight yarn is lighter than worsted weight, creating a delicate, soft fabric ideal for a baby toy.
