Crochet The Batling Amigurumi Pattern

Crochet The Batling Amigurumi Pattern

Picture a tiny crocheted bat with wings spread wide, hanging from a branch or draped across a Halloween vignette. The Batling is one of those makes where the finished piece looks far more impressive than the time it took, and once you've made one you'll want a whole colony of them hanging from your ceiling by October.

What's Included:

• Step-by-step written PDF pattern in US crochet terms, 14 pages with photos and visual aids
• Size chart included for four yarn weight options from lace to worsted
• Clearly explained instructions for each row and round with step-by-step photo guidance
• Wire armature in the wings makes them fully poseable for hanging or display
• A clean, realistic finish that looks sculpted and intentional on any shelf or branch

What You'll Need:

• DK weight yarn with sock weight for wings (approx. 150g total for original size)
• 3.5mm crochet hook for original size (varies by yarn weight chosen)
• Steel wire for poseable wings, strong pliers, chopstick for filling legs, scissors, and yarn needle
• Fiberfill stuffing
• Safety eyes (7.0mm for DK weight original size)
• Body-color eyeshadow, paint, or crayon with small brushes for wing shading detail
• Stitches used: magic ring (mr), single crochet (sc), increase (inc), decrease (dec), slip stitch (sl st)

Skill Level: Intermediate to advanced.

The Batling has been tested by 11 makers across different skill levels and the instructions are thorough throughout. If you've made poseable amigurumi before, the wire work in the wings will feel manageable. If it's your first time, step-by-step photos will guide you through.
