What Yarn Works Best for this Project?
As for this crochet bat amigurumi, there aren’t any strict rules. The pattern calls for DK-weight yarn such as Rico Design Ricorumi, but you can go for any other yarn you like. You may even want to experiment with different textures by using some fuzzy or velvety yarns.
How to Crochet This Bat Amigurumi
You work the Canine the Bat in rounds, so stitch markers will help. The head and body are crocheted as one piece using single crochets. As you go, you will stuff the toy and add 6 mm safety eyes.
For the base, the designer recommends using a small round-cut piece of cardboard to make the toy stand stable. Next, you will need to work two ears and two wings and sew them onto the head and body.
Can I Adjust the Size of the Bat?
Yes, you can. You can easily modify the size of your handmade toy by using a thicker yarn, for example medium-weight one, and a larger hook. Similarly, by working it up with thinner yarn and a smaller hook, the bat will turn out smaller.
