Why You'll Love This Baby Fledermaus Amigurumi Pattern

I absolutely love this pattern because it combines compact, satisfying shaping with charming details that really bring the little bat to life. I enjoy designing small amigurumi that are quick to make yet full of personality, and this bat fits that perfectly. The wings and tiny feet add character without complicated construction, so I can finish one in an afternoon. I also love that the head and body are crocheted in one piece — it keeps finishing simple and neat. Seeing the finished bat in hand always makes me smile.

Switch Things Up

I love how easy it is to customize this pattern by changing colors; try pastel shades for a softer, non-spooky version.

I often swap the yarn to a sport or fingering weight and a smaller hook to make an even tinier keychain-friendly bat.

I also like using a chunkier cotton yarn and a larger hook to create a plush, palm-sized bat that works as a small cuddle toy.

I sometimes embroider little eyebrows or a mouth to give each bat its own personality and expression.

I recommend experimenting with felt wings instead of crocheted ones for a flat, stylized look that's easy to attach.

I like to add a loop of yarn at the top to turn the bat into an ornament or a bag charm for seasonal decorating.

If I want posable wings, I insert a thin wire inside the wing seam before closing and sew the wing securely to the body.

I occasionally change the eye size: smaller safety eyes look cuter and larger ones give a more cartoonish appearance.

I sometimes add tiny beads or sequins to the wing embroidery for a subtle sparkle for decorative pieces.

I also enjoy creating matching mini-outfits or tiny scarves to give each bat character and make them gift-ready.

I encourage you to try different textures like fluffy yarn for a fuzzy bat or cotton for a neat finish.

Finally, I always test small changes on scraps first so I know how they affect size and tension before altering the main piece.

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

✗ Skipping the placement note for safety eyes results in mispositioned eyes; place the safety eyes between rounds 12 and 13 with 9 stitches between them as instructed. ✗ Overstuffing the head and body can distort the shape and make sewing difficult; stuff gradually and evenly, checking shape frequently to maintain smooth curves. ✗ Not counting stitches at the end of rounds leads to incorrect shaping; count your stitches after each round, especially during increases and invisible decreases. ✗ Pulling stitches too tightly when making invisible decreases can create gaps; use gentle, even tension and practice the technique on a scrap to achieve a neat finish. ✗ Failing to leave long tails when cutting yarn for wings and details makes sewing tricky; always leave a long tail for sewing and weaving in to secure parts firmly.

Assembly Instructions

  • Attach safety eyes between rounds 12 and 13 with 9 stitches of space between them, then continue crocheting as directed.
  • Sew wings to the sides of the body using the long tail left from finishing the wing; position so the wing tip points slightly upward and sew securely.
  • Sew ears on top of the head, spacing them symmetrically and using the long tail to secure and weave into the head.
  • Sew feet to the lower edge of the body (bottom rounds), spacing them evenly to allow the bat to sit upright; secure firmly with several passes.
  • Embroider around the eyes and add any stitched details on the wings using the contrast yarn and a yarn needle for neat decorative triangles.

Important Notes

  • 💡Place safety eyes before closing the head so you can check placement and symmetry easily.
  • 💡Use the recommended yarn weight and a 2.5 mm hook for the correct finished size and neat stitch definition.
  • 💡Stuff the head and body firmly but in small stages to avoid lumps and to maintain smooth shaping.
  • 💡Leave long yarn tails when finishing wings and small parts to make sewing easier and stronger.
