Boo the Bat joins the party. Its wings, though pointy, are soft and ready to give a warm hug in the chilly, spooky season. This amigurumi project makes a great seasonal decoration. The loops in the bottom allow the bat to “rest” on a thin stick. We can also use loose leaf rings to help it perch.

This crochet pattern benefits from the texture of front post double crochet stitches. It also provides good practice with altering stitches in a round.
