This is an intermediate to advanced pattern. If you need help, please reach out to me. I am always available to help people through any pattern purchased.
Please note that you will need to print the wing document so that you can bend your wire correctly. Testers did make their wings without the printout but it is easier to use it.
Make your own bat with this easy to follow pattern. This pattern is tested and has multiple photos to help you create your bat. Photos are included step by step to help you with the wire frame for the feet. The feet have glass claws on them, which I will link in the materials section below.
Each toe is movable. This bat is designed to cling to items with his feet. You will need 10 claws. This pattern can be made without the claws, it is just an added bonus.
Please note that the black bat was made a little different. I was not able to get the fur to make him look like a real flying fox. For the neck, instead of making a separate piece, I crocheted six rows onto the body and then looped on strands of yarn. After looping on the yarn, I used a wire pet brush to brush out the yarn. After brushing, I used scissors to trim the fur. This part is not included in the pattern since it was a custom order.
