Crochet the Bat Treat Cover & Amigurumi
To make it, you crochet two flat wings using chains and half double crochet stitches. Next, you construct the body in the round using single crochet stitches, working the ears directly onto the face with small chains and slip stitches. After embroidering the facial features and attaching the wings, you work the upper body rounds and create a mesh edge with skipped stitches to weave in the drawstring ribbon.
