5. Increase to 24 stitches: 2 sc in each stitch around.
6. Work even rounds for 4 rounds (24 stitches each round).
7. Begin decreasing evenly to close the head:

   • Second decrease round: sc 5, then sc2tog around (12 stitches).
   • Final decrease round: sc 3, then sc2tog around (6 stitches).
8. Cut the yarn, leaving a long tail for sewing. Pull the yarn through the last loop to secure.
9. Attach the safety eyes and embroider a small nose using black yarn.

2. In the magic ring, crochet 6 single crochets (sc): sc 6.
3. Increase evenly to 18 stitches: 2 sc in each stitch around.
4. Work even rounds for 3 rounds (18 stitches each round).
5. Lightly stuff the ring and sew the ends together to form a ring.
6. Repeat this process to create a total of three rings in different colors (one pink, one yellow, and one of your choice).

4. Assemble the Rattle
