Free Halloween Bat Ornament Amigurumi Crochet Pattern
The final pattern in the Halloween ornament collection is this little Bat! This Bat pattern is actually one of the very first patterns I have ever written. The original Bat was cute, but I decided to revamp my old pattern because it wasn’t exactly the way I wanted my Bat to look.
After finishing Bat 2.0 and hanging it onto my tree, I noticed that it was looking a little lonely. So from there, I decided to create the Halloween Collection so that I could have a tree full of adorable Halloween ornaments.
Free Bat Ornament Amigurumi Crochet Pattern
I used the Knitpicks Shine Sport yarn for all of the ornaments in my Halloween collection because I love how smooth it crochets up. The yarn also looks slightly glossy, which makes the ornaments look a little bit more polished.
The difficulty level of this pattern is Intermediate and this pattern is written in US crochet terminology.

Fasten off, weave the tail that you end with off but leave the beginning tail end because you’ll need it for sewing.
Assembly
- Place the skinny ends of both wings together and sew them together with one of the wings’ tail. Weave that tail in. You should still have another tail to sew the wings onto the body with.
- Mix 1 part water to 1 part glue, I used Elmer’s glue for this. Paint the mixture over the wings and lay on a flat surface and allow to dry. If you want the wing tips to look extra pointy, you can place the wings on a flat piece of foam and pin it down to shape it.
- While your wings are drying, sew a thick line between the eyes on the face of your bat with Cosmopolitan yarn to create a cute little nose.
- Pin the ears onto the top of the head and sew in place.
- Pin the body onto the head and sew in place.
- Pin the feet onto the bottom of the body and sew in place.
- Turn your bat around and pin the wings to the back of your bat and sew in place.
- String a piece of yarn through the centre of the bottom of the bat. Tie the string off to close off the loop.
Congrats, you have just finished your adorable little Bat! Feel free to customize your Bat by giving it a different coloured nose or adding pink details to the ears.

Just made this (using a bigger hook and worsted weight since it’s what I had on hand) to give to my daughter for her 20th birthday. She’s gonna love it! Thanks so much for making this adorable pattern and making it easily accessible. I really LOVE it. I’m thinking of making a bat Garland using different shades of gray for each little bat. The Garland is a great idea. Thanks again for sharing this
Abby
You are so welcome 🙂 I’m glad you like the pattern and I look forward to seeing your bat garland if you make it! Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment and for your support!

Wings – row 3 – do I skip the two chains and put first hdc in the last hdc from row two?
Abby
Hi Doreen,
Yes, that is correct! The Ch2 is just there to adjust for the height of the first hdc stitch of row 3
Jessica
So I’m trying to make the ears for my bat and every time I do they look nothing like yours and I have no idea what I am doing wrong do you have any tips for a beginner to help me out.
Abby
Just sent you an email with some resources!
Adana
Thankyou so much for thiS pattern – the little bst is adorable
Elizabeth
Great pattern. The wings gave me a bit of trouble. My point wasn’t as pointy as I would like.
Abby
Hi Elizabeth,
Thank you! 🙂 As for the points, the glue stiffener helps a bit to make them a bit sharper. Pinching the points while the glue mix is still slightly damp helps a bit with this.
