Dusk the Amigurumi Bat Crochet Pattern

What is included

A digital PDF pattern of 22 pages with a materials list, gauge and size notes, abbreviations and special stitches, the body, head, ears, paws and scalloped wing worked round by round with stitch counts, a step-by-step wing edging, face embroidery, assembly with placement measurements and diagrams, an optional bow with a small crocheted skull, finishing and care, variations and troubleshooting. Each step gives the pattern line, an explanation in plain words and a checkpoint with the count to verify.

Who it is for

Skill level: Intermediate. You should be comfortable working in the round in a spiral with a small hook, and be ready for shaping, a scalloped wing edging, embroidery and sewing.

Materials and key facts

• Yarn: smooth cotton-blend yarn, fine (fingering) weight, in a main color and a contrasting wing color, plus small amounts of white, black and skin tone.
• Hook: 1.7 to 2 mm (2 mm is US steel size 4). Start with 2 mm and go down to 1.7 mm if the stuffing shows between stitches.
• Gauge: not critical for a toy. What matters is a dense fabric, so your bat will come out larger or smaller with a different yarn and hook.
• You will also need: a pair of 12 to 14 mm safety eyes with secure backing, polyester fiberfill, a blunt tapestry needle, a thin needle for the mouth and teeth, scissors and a stitch marker.
