Make One... or Dozens!

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!
