I find bats more cute than scary, but also very pretty. This hat in autumnal colours is perfect to wear around Halloween even if it won´t really frighten anyone.

You need one skein of background colour (I have used Zauberball 1874 from Schoppelwolle) and one skein of black sock yarn in fingering weight.

If you make both hat and mittens the skein of Zauberball will be enough for both projects.

36 stitches and 38 rows = 10 x 10 centimeters.

Two 16 inch circular needles US 0–1.5 (2–2,5 mm).

Mönstret finns även på svenska.
