Bat Pattern

Supplies:
4mm crochet hook. 4/Medium weight yarn in any color, and white. Black embroidery thread. 8mm safety eyes. Stuffing. Scissors. Tapestry needle.

Additional Information:
Difficulty: Easy
“Main Color” in this pattern refers to the main color you will use to make your bat. I used purple for one, and green for another.
We start by making the bat’s head which works into the body as one piece. We then create the ears, wings, and feet. After sewing those on, we finally make the cute smile!
