Looking for an EASY-to-crochet hanging bat decoration for Halloween that doubles as a softie for kids? Learn how to crochet this low-sew flying bat plushie designed for absolute beginners, following a written pattern + tutorial as well. This crochet plushie bat has the hanging loop attached to its feet, so you can hang it in its iconic cave sleeping pose. You can crochet this bag either as a keychain by using cotton yarn or as a gift for kids using plush yarn.

Choose from the crochet pink bat with grey wings, beige bat with black wings, or white bat with purple wings. All these crochet bat variations are spooky and all cute. I like the picot edging of the wings and how they are just crocheted from a semi-circle.

This is a 30-minute plushie bat project that will make a perfect last-minute Halloween present for kids. You can also hang your crochet bat from a tree. To make it look spooky, you can also embroider a cross-stitch eye as a replacement for one of the eyes. You can also use the eyes with the eyelashes. Now, continue reading to learn more about this Halloween bat project.

This cute crochet bat project is very fast and easy to make – taking only about 15 minutes! It only needs a simple pattern, but shows how you can change the size of your bat just by using different types of yarn. For example, using thick plush yarn makes a large 15-centimeter bat, and thin plush yarn makes a medium 12-centimeter bat.

Also, the regular cotton yarn makes a tiny 8-centimeter bat. It is a fun, quick project that lets you easily make a soft little toy in whichever size you like best.

Materials Needed to Crochet the Plush Bat

Yarn: Thin chenille/plush yarn (like Himalaya Velvet or YarnArt Dolce Baby) in two colors: a main color for the body and a contrast color for the wings/ears. Note: You can use any yarn weight (e.g., blanket yarn or cotton), just adjust your hook and eye size accordingly.
Hook: 3.0 mm (for thin plush yarn)
Eyes: 9mm safety eyes
Stitch marker, tapestry needle, and polyfill stuffing
