This little bat is in need of a hat!

This free pattern is part of a new project I have created, where crochet pattern creators can collaborate and make ‘bat hats’ packs to fit this little bat. As each pack is released I will make a bit of a ‘master-list’ below to keep track of them!

This is a free pattern, and I (and hopefully many other pattern creators!) will be regularly releasing different paid “bat hats” pattern packs, which will include different hats for the bat to wear. These pattern packs will help to transform this bat into a ‘blind box’ item (think Smiskis, or Sonny Angels!) which will be perfect for selling at market stalls or online. All you’ll need to do is make boxes or bags for your bats to be sold in, and include photos of the different possible bats your customers may find in their box! They would also be perfect for market stall claw machines, where customers can try to pick up the bat with the hat they want.

This pattern has both written step-by-step instructions and photos. This pattern is created for people with an intermediate level of knowledge of crochet, and requires some hand sewing. This pattern uses US crochet terms and is in English. I have made this pattern as simple and as quick to make as possible – it should take approximately one hour to complete.

The images in this pattern are of a bat I made out of 4 Seasons Marvel 8ply yarn, using a 3.5mm hook.

If you make a ‘bat hats’ pattern pack, please email me a link to it @ bellle.crochet@gmail.com and I’ll add it to the list!
