Pocket Bat

Pattern info page: https://www.sweetsofties.com/2023/09/pocket-bat.html

The Pocket Bat is a cute mini doll that can be worked up quickly and easily. This stuffed animal sits at 4” in height and can fit in your palm. There is minimal sewing because the ears are crocheted onto the head in a no-sew manner, and the feet are crocheted onto the body. This baby critter is designed with super bulky chenille velvet or blanket yarn, but it can also be made with thinner yarns to create a small keychain version. Perfect for Halloween and the spooky season!

This little toy is great for craft fairs, markets, or kids party favors. It’s a unisex and gender neutral stuffie that will appeal to boys, girls, children, adults, and everyone in between! It’s a great last-minute birthday and holiday gift.

The PDF pattern includes full written instructions and photo references to guide you through the doll making process.
