The finished bat measures approximately 21cm (8¼in) wingspan and 9cm (3½in) from top of head to tip of tail.
Mercerised cotton crochet thread gives a sheen to the face and wings, and a fluffy lace-weight yarn is used to create the soft, furry body.
Other materials you will need include:
- 1.5mm (UK2½:US7) crochet hook
- Sharp-ended darning needle
- Toy stuffing
- 20-gauge (0.8mm) craft wire for the arms
- 26-gauge (0.4mm) craft wire for the legs and tail
- 1 pair of 3mm (⅛in) looped glass teddy bear eyes or beads
- Black stranded embroidery thread
- Clear nylon invisible thread
- Pliers
This bat is purely decorative and not suitable for small children, due to the wire used for the arms, legs and tail.
In this pattern you will find a full list of materials needed and instructions to crochet the bat, information on sewing the pieces together and adding the finishing touches, including an illustrated guide to attaching the eyes. .
