    The Little Monstera Teething Ring uses only 9 grams of yarn - which means you can get 7 out of each skein of Lily Sugar'n Cream! In 10 rows you'll have a finished project, so you might run through that skein in an evening. This means that this pattern is great not only for quick gifts but also for craft fairs! Like all Moogly patterns, you are welcome to sell your finished items - and I think that this Monstera-themed teether has a lot of potential.

    Easily Washable Cotton

    While my kids moved past the teething stage a while ago, I do remember those days - and all the drool! So in addition to being cute, I designed the Little Monstera Teething Ring to be practical. The leaf is 100% cotton, so it's absorbent. Yet it's thin, so it can be used as a little washcloth (or get chewed on directly!) and still dry quickly. And best of all, you can remove it from the wooden ring to machine wash and dry it whenever needed!

      I have a friend who is a botanist and I know she would love this! Although she doesn't need a teething ring, I'm sure I could figure out something else to make this into. It's DARLING!

        ♥ I do think it would make an adorable little cloth or doubled up even a little trivet!

      Love the pattern. Love the way it is attached.
      Thoughts about safety of the ring: Special brand or just rings form craft store? OK for baby to suck on it -chemicals, shredding from biting? I have used some plastic rings, but would rather use the wood-just hesitant.

        I did a little bit of research, and from what I was able to find, untreated wood is generally safe for babies - but I totally understand wanting to take extra caution with whatever you do buy!

      These are PERFECT!! My family has a decided affinity for plants and animals. My niece and her husband have goats, dogs and cats. They just had their first baby last night. So I’ve made him a goat, a dog and cat. But I just saw your monstera leaf teething rings. I’m making her 7 so she’ll have several to wash, dry and use.
