Head and Body (Worked as one piece)

We’ll start from the bottom and work our way up. Use a stitch marker to keep track of the beginning of each round.

Start with Grey yarn.

R1: Make 8 sc in an amigurumi ring (magic circle). (8)

R2: (inc) x 3.
Now, make the first leg: Switch to Black yarn. Ch 3. Starting from the 2nd ch from the hook, make a Bobble (3 dc together in the same stitch). Ch 1 to secure. Cut the yarn, switch back to Grey yarn and sl st into the base stitch to secure the leg.
Continue with Grey yarn: (inc) x 2.
Make the second leg (repeat the process above with Black yarn).
Finish the round with (inc) x 3 in the remaining stitches. (16)

R9: (sc, dec) x 6. (12)
Start stuffing the body and head firmly.

R10: (dec) x 6. (6)
Cut the yarn, leaving a long tail. Use your yarn needle to weave the tail through the front loops of the final 6 stitches and pull tight to close the hole. Weave in the end.

Ears (Make 2)

The ears are crocheted directly onto the top of the head.

Attach Black yarn to a stitch on the top of the head where you want an ear to be.
Ch 3.
Starting in the second chain from the hook, make 2 sl st down the chain.
Sl st back into the same stitch where you attached the yarn.
Fasten off and weave in the end. Repeat for the second ear.

Finishing Touches

This is where your little hero comes to life!

Eyes: Using white yarn and a needle, embroider the eyes. Three simple vertical stitches for each eye, as shown in the photo, works perfectly.
Mouth & Fangs: With black yarn, embroider a small mouth over the flesh-colored section. You can add tiny fangs with white yarn.
Bat Symbol: You can either embroider a small bat symbol onto the yellow belt with black yarn or cut one from a small piece of black felt and glue it on.
