Length of the toy along with the ring is ~5.6” (14-16 cm)

I used this yarn for my rattles:

• YarnArt JEANS, 55% cotton, 45% acrilyc; 160 m/50gr
• Alize Cotton Gold, 55% cotton, 45% acrilyc; 165 m/50gr
• Gazzal Jeans 58% cotton; 42% acrilyc; 170 m/50gr

Approximate yarn consumption: 10 gr.

• Crochet hook that is convenient for you when using such kind of yarn. I used 2.5 mm hook.
• Needle for sewing
• Wooden ring 2.2-2.4" (5.5-6 cm) in diameter
• Scissors
• Stuffing (holofiber or any synthetic material)
• Flat rattle with a diameter of 1-1.5 "

• Wooden beads 2 pcs 12 mm in diameter and 1 pcs 14 mm in diameter
• Some white floss thread for embroidering the cactus spines.
