Today I’m going to share with you my amazingly simple pattern for making Crochet Teething Rings.

The pattern is suitable for a beginner and they literally take 15 minutes to make.

Teethers, make cute baby shower gifts on their own. They also make an ideal accessory set when paired with my Spring Bunny Lovey. What’s more they are made with safety in mind and safe for baby to chew on. They are also really useful first toys to help develop Baby’s hand eye coordination and grasp.

A word on yarn choice

I have opted to use Drops Safran 100% cotton as it is not only affordable, but it has a great colour pallete too. It was also really important to me that I chose a cotton that was Oeko Tex standard 100 approved. This means the cotton has been certified to be free of harmful chemicals and is safe for human use. It has also been verified as both safe and non-irritating to human skin.

Petal Teething Ring

Begin by securing yarn around the teething ring with a slst (this does not count as a st)

28dc around teething ring

ch1 and turn,

miss a st, *9dtr in next st, miss 2 sts, slst into next st, miss 2 sts* repeat * – * 3 more times, 9dtr in next st, miss a st, slst into last st.

Because you are cramming 9dtr into one st, it is easy to miscount the 2 missed sts immediately after; as the 1st missed st tends to hide under the petal made, so if your stitch count isn’t working for you check this first!

Fasten off and weave in loose ends.

The teething rings can be washed in the washing machine, or hand washed as per preference. Always check teething ring for safety before each use.

Top Tip

Wet the crochet petals with cold water and place the teether in the freezer, for an extra boost of teething comfort

If you’re making these teethers for a baby shower or gift set, you might also like my crochet Bunny Lovey pattern — which is also quick to make and pairs beautifully with these teethers.

Ridged Teething Ring

chain stitches do not count as a stitch throughout pattern

For ridged teether work remainder of pattern in back loops only -BLO. For a smooth crochet look work sts as normal. NB/ pictures below are not worked in back loop so do not show ridged effect. See picture at the top of this post for ridged effect.

Row 2 – 21: dc in each st along, ch1, turn
