crochet baby toy

In 2016, I became a grandma for the first time! I had so much fun crocheting for my granddaughter! Isn’t being a grandma amazing?

Well, fast forward 7-8 years and life is always busy (even for grandmas)! I’ve gone through 2 family weddings, 4 family deaths and the birth of 3 more grandchildren (all 3 are boys) since the birth of my first grandchild. And there have been many trips/vacations to other states, as well as countries, during the past 8 years, as well! Life is never dull!!!

All this to say, that in 2016, I designed a crocheted baby toy for stacking baby rings. Life got busy and I never published that pattern (okay, I’m a procrastinator and a perfectionist, too, which doesn’t help!!!). This crochet toy is like the plastic ones that Fisher Price made back in the day, and still does. I’ve always liked this fun toy for babies, probably because it’s made with rainbow colors and I LOVE rainbow colors! So without further ado, here is my newest crochet pattern, “Stacking Baby Rings”. Each ring is made with a different color. All 5 rings stack (in the correct order) onto the cone that is attached to the base. The rings, as well as the cone, are stuffed with fiberfill. Each piece is crocheted with basic crochet stitches: chains, single crochet, sc increases and sc decreases. They’re easy to crochet (even for an adventurous beginner) and fun to see come together into a beautiful tower of color!

These stacking baby rings would make a great gift at a baby shower, for a birthday or for Christmas. They’re great for babies and toddlers. They’re super soft and squishy, too!
