Super fun and striking, kids are sure to love the bat motifs swiss darned on the back. When swiss darning the bats on, the most important thing is getting the placement right. To enable this we suggest marking out with tacking stitches the size of the charts. That way you can ensure that you have a couple of stitches free next to the shaping and enough rows between the two bats.

If you prefer you can always knit the bats into the back using the intarsia technique.
