This crochet bat pattern is all about texture and shape — the body works up seamlessly in one piece, while the wings are crocheted flat and attached afterward for that perfect little silhouette. It’s a fun change of pace if you’re used to amigurumi that requires piecing together several parts, since most of the shaping happens as you go.

He’s perfect for anyone who wants a Halloween accent that still feels like home — hang him from a piece of jute twine, tuck him into a fall garland, or pile a few into a decorative bowl for a subtle seasonal touch. Once you get the hang of the wing shaping, this one moves quickly, and you can easily finish the entire bat in under an hour.
