Need a quick easy Halloween decoration? Love knitted toys but hate fiddling with all the little pieces? This little felted bat can be whipped up in no time with wool scraps. Each body piece is cleverly constructed flat and seamlessly in garter stitch, felted, and then joined with a quick whip stitch. A few simple embroidery stitches provide the finishing touches. Instructions for felting by hand and machine are also included. This pattern has been designed to give the knitter many options for needles and yarn so that you can use what you have on hand.

Skills: For the most part you’ll need to be able to knit, increase and decrease, and pick up and knit a few stitches.
