Crochet Bat Amigurumi Tutorial
Skill Level: Beginner – Intermediate. Making a magic ring, crochet the head of a bat amigurumi with rounds of single crochets, including increases and decreases to shape. Ears are crocheted separately with a crochet flat round. The head and ears are then assembled. For wings, you will need 13 chains, then turn and work rows of single crochets. Each round is followed by chaining and turning. Black stripes are added using embroidery. The final part focuses on attaching everything. Both wings are crocheted similarly.
Tutorial Timing: 14, 15, and 17 minutes respectively for each part (learn working with the small parts and managing the issues with the thin yarns. You will also learn the accurate surface stitching that is used for many other projects. With a total time of 46 minutes, this amigurumi bat is worth crocheting!)
Personalization Tips: Use the velvet yarn in a bulky weight to crochet a large bat plushie. You can also crochet the Halloween accessories like a witch hat, bow tie, and even a cape. But I recommend you use the two shades of purple since it is much more visible. Also, add a smile to your finished bat amigurumi.
Pattern Type: A detailed on-screen written pattern is available if you find written instructions easy to follow along with.
