Measuring about 6 inches from wingspan to toes, this charming little bat is perfect for adorning your home during the spooky season or as an endearing gift for friends who enjoy quirky crafts.

For this project, I chose a soft, worsted-weight yarn in rich colors like deep purple, charcoal gray, and a hint of soft lavender.

4. Designer Notes / Tips

When working on this bat, you’ll be using basic stitches, so don’t worry if you’re new to amigurumi! You’ll primarily be using single crochet (sc) and a few increases and decreases. For a lovely textured finish, try to maintain an even tension. If you’re unsure about stuffing density, aim for a light but firm stuffing to give the bat a cuddly shape without being overly stiff.

As you assemble the pieces, use a stitch marker to keep track of your rounds, especially on the body and head. When placing the safety eyes, I suggest adding them between Rounds 12 and 13, about 6 stitches apart for the best look. If you’re making this for a child, consider embroidering the eyes instead for safety.

If you need a yarn alternative, consider cotton yarn for a more structured design, keeping in mind that this may affect the overall look and feel of your bat. Enjoy the process and don’t rush; amigurumi can be very therapeutic!
