Free Amigurumi Bat Pattern

My Free Amigurumi Bat Pattern is easy to make and super cute! Perfect to make for Halloween!

Yarn Choices: I used acrylic yarn for the free amigurumi bat pattern, but you can also use cotton or chunky yarn if you want to make a larger crochet bat. Avoid wool unless you're okay with it shrinking after washing.
Stitch Tightness: My stitches are tight when I single crochet. If you have trouble keeping your stitches tight, try yarning under during a single crochet instead of yarning over. This method naturally creates a tighter stitch. It might take a little practice, but many amigurumi makers recommend yarning under.
Size: The crochet bat pattern is roughly 7-8inches wide and 3.5 inches tall.

Round 1: Ch x6 and turn. Starting in the second ch from the hook, sc x4. In the last ch you will sc x3 and turn over to the unworked side of the chain. Sc x3 and then make a sc inc. Sl st to the first sc you made (this is the only time we will sl st at the end of the round) (12).
Round 2: Inc, sc. Then repeat for the rest of the round (18).
Round 3: Inc, sc x2. Then repeat for the rest of the round (24).
Round 4: Inc, sc x3. Then repeat for the rest of the round (30).
Round 5-6: Sc in every stitch (30).
Round 7: Inc, sc x4. Then repeat for the rest of the round (36).
Round 8: Inc, sc x5. Then repeat for the rest of the round (42).
Round 9-12: Sc in every stitch (42).
Round 13: Dec, sc x5. Then repeat for the rest of the round (36).
Round 14: Dec, sc x4. Then repeat for the rest of the round (30). Add the safety eyes between rounds 7-8 roughly 4-5 stitches apart.
Round 15: Dec, sc x3. Then repeat for the rest of the round (24). Start to stuff the bat.
Round 16: Dec, then sc. Then repeat for the rest of the round (16). You are reducing by 8 this round and next round.
Round 17: Dec. Then repeat for the rest of the round (8). Fasten off the yarn and sew the head closed.

Round 1: Make a mr, and sc x3 into the circle (3).
Round 2: Inc. Then repeat for the rest of the round (6).
Round 3: Inc, sc. Then repeat for the rest of the round (9).

Round 7: Inc, sc x5. Then repeat for the rest of the round (21).
Round 8: Inc, sc x6. Then repeat for the rest of the round (24).
At this point fold the wing in half and have the stitch you are currently working in on the edge.
*Ch x3 and sl st into the 3rd ch from the hook. Sc into the next 3 stitches. Repeat from * 3 more times. After doing the LAST ch x3, sl st combo, you will only sc in the last 2 stitches available.
Fasten off the yarn and leave a tail for sewing.

Sew each ear onto the top of the head. I added the ears to the opposite sides of the chain that I used to start the crochet bat body.
Sew the wings to the body. They are sewn to the back of the body roughly across from where you placed the eyes in the front (there should be a 2 inch gap between the wings on the back).
And now you have a beautiful handmade crochet bat plush made from my free amigurumi bat pattern! You can make more and have an army of crochet bat plushies at your disposal. I hope you enjoyed making this easy crochet bat with me!
