Close the opening, cut the yarn, and hide the tail.

  • Shape the face.
  • Sculpt the eyes from the inner side of each eye and from below.
  • Embroider the nose, mouth, and fangs. To make the eyes more expressive, you can add white embroidery under the eyes and black embroidery above the eyes, as on my bat. You can also lightly tint around the eyes.

Fasten off, cut the yarn, and leave a tail for sewing to the head. Sew on the ears. You can lightly tint the ears.

Legs (Make 2)

1. 6 sc in MR
2. (sc, inc) x 3 (9)
3-8. 9 sc
9. (sc, dec) x 3 (6)

Close the opening, cut the yarn, and hide the tail. Sew the legs perpendicular to the body. This way, your bat will be able to stand on its own.

  • Cut the wings out of felt.
  • Tip for choosing the right wing size: place the bat on a sheet of paper and draw wings around it.
  • Cut these wings out of paper, place them on the felt, trace them, and cut them out.
  • The wings can be glued or sewn on.
  • Crochet the tuft and chest from textured yarn.

Tuft

1. 6 sc in MR

Sew it to the head.
