Oscar the Little Bat free toy crochet pattern for Halloween is a 5-page A4 PDF designed by Irene Strange for intermediate crocheters. The finished bat stands approximately 6 inches (15 cm) tall, worked in Paintbox Yarns Cotton Aran, available exclusively at lovecrafts.com.
What the pattern includes
The pattern gives full instructions for the body, wings, arms, ears, and muzzle. All pieces are worked in continuous rounds without joining, using a marker to denote the start of each round. Wings are worked in rows, turning at the end of each row. Safety eyes are added between rounds 13–14, approximately 11 stitches apart. The finished face includes an embroidered nose and two small white teeth on the bottom edge.
Printing and yarn notes
Print the PDF at actual size on A4 paper. The gauge note states that matching exact tension isn't necessary, but aim for a dense fabric with no visible holes between stitches. Decreases can be worked in your preferred method—regular or invisible. The pattern is for personal use only and must not be resold or made for resale. Safety eyes and small pieces are a choking hazard, so the toy is not suitable for children under 36 months.
