Meet our adorable Cuddly Bat. He’s cute, cuddly and very lovable. This pattern supplies directions for making our Cuddly Bat.

This Bat is suitable for advanced beginner knitters and assumes an understanding of basic stitches and standard knitting terms. Our Cuddly Bat is knit flat and sewn together using a mattress stitch.

If you’re new to knitting stuffed friends, or are uncomfortable winging it without strict guidelines (that’s OK, we all need good directions sometimes to help us out) you will need approximately 19 m of medium weight light coloured yarn for the body and 15 m of medium weight dark grey yarn for the wings. With this yarn, use 4 mm (US size 6) needles. You will also need a small amount of yarn for embroidering the face (black for the eyes and white for the fangs), stuffing (we use ecofil or wool) and a tapestry needle to sew your bat together. This will let you create a bat that’s approximately 13 cm (5 inches) in length.

The beauty of knitting stuffed friends is that this pattern can be knit in any size yarn with accompanying needles. Generally we find using a size or two smaller needles than required by the yarn allows for the tightness needed when you’re stuffing your finished product.

Keep in touch! We’d love to hear from you.
