Meet these charming Monkey and Koala friends—quick and easy to knit, and guaranteed to bring a smile!

You’ll knit the head and body all in one piece, just like the arms and legs, which wrap snugly around a sturdy wooden teether ring.

Knit them flat and seam them up—they’re such a speedy project, you might finish one in an evening!
I recommend cotton yarn—it’s gentle, washes beautifully, and won’t shed fibers even if baby decides to have a nibble!

These make thoughtful gifts for a new baby or a baby shower—handmade with love always means a little more.
For a special touch, you can tuck a baby-safe rattle inside the body as you stuff the teether.

The smooth wooden ring is just right for little ones to chew and grasp—safe, sturdy, and soothing.
(A gentle hand wash or short machine wash is best for these, due to the wooden ring—but rest assured, they’re perfectly safe to pop in any baby’s sterilizer.)

Suitable for intermediate or confident beginners.
