Gather Your Crochet Essentials
For this crochet bat pattern, you will need fingering yarn and a 2.5 mm crochet hook. The designer recommends using Phildar Phil Coton 3 available in beautiful pastel colors. If you want to experiment a little bit with the look of your toy, consider using velvet or chenille yarn for a super plush version.
What Size Is the Finished Bat?
Chloe stands at 7 inches (18 cm) in height, which makes it a perfect toy to cuddle and play with as well as an adorable room decoration. Would you like to make it bigger? No problem! All you need to do is switch your hook for a larger one and choose a thicker yarn.
Is This Crochet Bat Toy Safe for Babies?
If you want to give this handmade bat to a child under 3, make sure that your toy doesn’t have any loose elements that pose a choking hazard. The original sample features plastic safty eyes, which are not suitable for babies and very young children. Instead, consider adding crocheted eyes or embroidered ones.
