Crocheting a Pacifier Cord - Looking for a cute baby shower gift, or do you want to crochet something unique for your own little one? This pacifier cord is the perfect item! This cheerful cord is a breeze to make, and you’ll never lose a pacifier again! Read on and get started with this fun pattern by Annemarie.
A pacifier cord is super handy, and you can always use an extra one. Make one for your soon-to-be niece, nephew, neighbors’ kids, and grandchildren—or, of course, for your own little one. Naturally, you can make the cord in any color you want, because besides the traditional pink and blue, a red, yellow, or green pacifier cord is also super cute!
These pacifier cords are made from the small balls of Yarn and Colors Must-Have Minis. That way, one ball of each color is enough, and you can make the pacifier cord at a great price. Add a wooden bead and some stuffing for the mushroom, choose the right color pacifier clip, and treat a little one to this cute mushroom pacifier holder!
Personal adjustments are, of course, welcome, but please do not make the cord any longer or narrower. For safety reasons, it is best to stick to these measurements.
