Good to Know Before You Start This Crochet Bat Pattern Free
- Most of the pieces start with a magic ring. You don‘t have to join each round with a slst, except the patterns calls for it. You crochet in rounds most of the time.
- All amigurumi toys are crocheted with tight stitches. If you tend to crochet loose, use a smaller hook size than recommended.
- Stuff details very tight as you go. Stuff amigurumi as tight as you can. A chopstick or a pencil helps you to spread the stuffing into every corner.
- There is a chance that you will lose the beginning of the round, to avoid this mark the first stitch of a round to keep track of where the round begins. It can be a colored pin or thread.
- Change to a new color by finishing the last step of the last stitch of the old with the new yarn. Your next stitch will be the first stitch of the new color.

Eyes
The eyes are crocheted with 1 mm hook and embroidery floss in black, green and white color. You can use any other color instead of green. Embroidery floss is a loosely twisted 6-strand thread. We need to use only 3-strand thread.
Tip1: If you have any eyesight diseases you can use dark grey instead of black, and magnifying glass. Also you can try to take 4-strand thread and 1,5 mm hook.
Tip2: change the color at the last step of the last stitch of the previous color.
Tip3: lay the loose ends from one color changes across the tops of the stitches of the previous row. Then, using the new color, work the stitches in the current row and encase the end.
