    Crochet Bat Pattern

    The Friendly Vampire Bat is about 6 inches tall. The legs are made separately and then attached to form the body. The body will decrease and then increase into the head. You will attach the ears and wings.

    This pattern is property of The Friendly Red Fox. Please note this pattern is only for PERSONAL USE. Please feel free to make as many items as you wish for yourself, or as gifts. You may sell items made with this pattern but PLEASE LINK BACK OR GIVE CREDIT TO ME AS DESIGNER. In no way can you share, reproduce, or sell this pattern. Please respect my rights as a designer. Read through the entire pattern before you begin.

    You will need:
    About 80g size 4 worsted weight yarn in gray
    10.5mm safety eyes
    Stuffing
    3.75mm hook
    Needle for sewing
    Stitch marker

    Abbreviations
    SC- single crochet

    SC INC- single crochet increase (2 SC in each stitch)

    INV DEC- Invisible decrease (put hook through the FRONT LOOP ONLY of two consecutive stitches [two loops on hook] Yarn over pull through both loops. [two loops on hook] Yarn over pull through two loops)

    Magic Circle- Make a loop, leaving a long tail to work with. Insert hook in center of loop, yarn over and draw up a loop. Yarn over, pull through to make the first chain (this does not count as a stitch!). Continue to crochet over the loop and tail with the number of stitches called for. (If you need 6 SC, then crochet 6 SC inside the ring.) Pull the tail to close the circle.

    Always move your stitch marker to the last stitch in the round. This pattern is worked in continuous rounds.
