Crochet Techniques You’ll Learn From This Project
If you’ve been looking for an easy crochet Halloween pattern, this project is exactly that. It’s a great opportunity for you to practice essential amigurumi techniques like working stitches in the round, shaping, or assembling pieces. These toys work up pretty fast, too, so you can complete both in a day or two.
Choosing the Perfect Yarn and Hook Size
This pattern includes two crochet bat sizes. You will need a 2.2 mm crochet hook to make the smaller one, and a 3 mm crochet hook for the bigger bat.
Both toys are made with yarn in sport weight. You can go for YarnArt Jeans or use your favorite acrylic yarn.
Don’t forget about the stuffing and safety eyes to finish off your bat amigurumi. If you’re making this for a baby or small child, replace the plastic eyes with crocheted ones.
How These Crochet Bat Amigurumi Are Made
You work these crochet bats in rounds using basic stitches. The head, body, and legs are made as one piece, starting from the top, and stuffed with polyfill as you go. Next, you will crochet the ears using two different yarn colors. The last part involves working the wings and joining all pieces together.
How Big Is the Finished Crochet Bat?
The black bat is 3” (8 cm) tall and the grey bat is 4” (10 cm) tall. You can easily adjust their size by using thicker or thinner yarn and a bigger or smaller hook size. These charming amigurumi bats are perfect for adding a touch of eeriness to your Halloween décor or spoiling your kids with cute, festive toys.
