A Note on Toy Safety

If you plan to make a toy using this pattern for a baby or toddler, ensuring its safety is essential. I will outline only a few key safety points here; you are responsible for ensuring the overall safety of your finished toy. The author assumes no liability for finished toys made using this pattern.

The safest option for the eyes/pupils is an embroidered black circle or a crocheted amigurumi ring sewn securely onto the eye. Safety eyes are another option, but they are suitable only for children aged three and older, and the toy should always be used under adult supervision. Glue-on eyes can also be used, but they should never be used for toys intended for babies or toddlers.

Another important aspect to consider is the toy stuffing. The toy must be worked tightly enough so that the stuffing does not poke through gaps in the stitches and present an inhalation hazard for a child.

When crocheting toys for little children, it is essential to keep all safety considerations in mind!

Tunnel

The tunnel in this toy is a crocheted tube where the connected arms will be placed. It is crocheted between the two body pieces to prevent the filling from coming out when the arms move.

You can crochet the tunnel in a few different ways; we will look at two:

Without connecting the two arms first, start crocheting the tube. Once a few rounds are worked, insert the first arm into the tunnel, connect it to the second arm, and continue crocheting the tunnel to the required length.
Make a chain for the tunnel, join it into a ring around the arm, and crochet the tunnel around the arms. With this method, the arms can be connected before you start crocheting the tunnel.

The downside of the first method is having to push the arm through the tunnel, while in the second method, you essentially crochet around the arms. Choose whichever method you prefer.
