Free Crochet Bat Pattern: Two-Color Amigurumi by QZYA
Looking for a small Halloween project with plenty of character? QZYA’s two-color crochet bat has pointed ears, wide wings, and a sweet little face. This guide helps you gather your supplies and plan the project. The complete pattern and photos are in the designer’s PDF at the end of the article.
Project overview
About the Two-Color Bat
This bat gets its personality from the contrast between its dark outer shape and bright inner ears and wings. The head and body are made as one piece, while the ears and wings are added afterward. A small embroidered nose and optional fangs finish the expression.
It is a good choice if you already know how to work in a spiral, increase and decrease, change yarn colors, and sew amigurumi pieces together. You can follow QZYA’s black and purple palette or choose another contrast shade for a different Halloween look.

Getting ready
Before You Start
Read through the PDF once before making your first stitch. Its body is worked in continuous rounds, so a stitch marker will make the start of each round easier to find. The ears use short color changes, and the wings are worked in rows before their edging is added.
Keep the yarn, hook, stuffing, and sewing needle together as you work. The PDF includes the exact stitch counts and photographs that show how the pieces should sit on the finished bat.
Quick stitch reminder: MR means magic ring; sc means single crochet; inc and dec mean increase and decrease; ch means chain; and sl st means slip stitch. Check the designer’s glossary for the full list used in the PDF.
Construction at a glance
How the Bat Comes Together
- Make the body. Crochet the head and body as one shape, adding the eyes and stuffing at the points shown in the PDF.
- Make the paired pieces. Work a left and right ear, then make two wings with the contrast color visible inside.
- Assemble and finish. Pin the ears and wings in place, sew them securely, then add the small face details.

Practical notes
Helpful Making Tips
- Mark each round. The continuous spiral can make the first stitch hard to spot.
- Count before moving on. A quick stitch count helps the ears and body keep their intended shape.
- Use firm, even stuffing. Add it gradually so the body stays smooth without showing gaps.
- Pin before sewing. Check that both ears and both wings look balanced from the front.
- Choose the eyes for the recipient. Embroidered eyes are an option when you do not want plastic parts.

Is this a beginner crochet bat pattern?
It suits someone comfortable with basic amigurumi stitches and simple sewing. The color changes in the ears and wings may be new to a first-time maker.
