The same pattern designer, Crochet Patterns, also offers a giraffe version of the lovey pattern!

There is just something so sweet about farm animals and babies. Maybe it’s because some of the first words we learn are related to farm animals and which noises they make!

11. Baby Elephant Lovey

In my opinion, no animal crochet pattern roundup is complete without featuring an elephant! The big eyes, curved trunk, and embroidered cheeks just make this little guy so sweet looking. This one is sure to become a treasured bedtime friend!

12. No Sew Baby Safari Animals

When looking for crochet patterns, nothing quite catches my attention like seeing the words “no sew” in the title. Fiddling with limb placement and sewing pieces on properly can be daunting for beginner and advanced crocheters alike!

That is especially true when working with smaller stuffed animals as there is less room for error. I truly appreciate the extra effort pattern designers go to in order to provide a no-sew version of their creation.

This crochet pattern bundle by Green Frog features patterns for 7 different baby safari animals, including an elephant, giraffe, lion, tiger, hippo, monkey, and rhino. Their tiny soft bodies are sure to be your baby’s next favorite toy!

13. Giraffe Rattle

Did you know you can also make crochet rattles for babies? Until I was searching for patterns for this very roundup, I had never seen anything like it before, but I can’t wait to make one! This pattern by Enjoy Toy Designs features three different options for making your rattle. You can even make a unicorn!

I absolutely love the black and white striped detail that is meant to catch the baby’s attention as well as the sweet embroidered faces. This pattern comes with very detailed instructions as well as videos to help you through each step of bringing these rattles to life!

14. Baby Raccoon Rattle

Toys By Knit Friends offer dozens and dozens of patterns of crochet animals for babies! Among them, they have countless patterns for various animal rattles. They have patterns for the ones featured above such as the zebra, sloth, elephant, flamingo, lion, tiger, and pig, but they also have many more adorable patterns that are not featured in this photo.

My favorite among them is probably the racoon one, as I love his little features and the addition of the yellow collar detail. The wooden handles give the rattle an overall classic and nostalgic feel as well!

15. Hippo Ring Tower Toy

Remember those ring stacking toys from when you were a kid? Well, who would have thought there were crocheted versions of them?! This hippo ring tower by Ludas Amigurumi is such a fun and creative spin on an old toy. Each piece of the hippo is crocheted separately to be stacked up and back together by baby, developing those crucial motor skills and hand/eye coordination!

Whoever you crochet this toy for, it is bound to be a hit!
