Looks like these 2 friendly vampire bats are going out for a bite tonight!

Finished size will be approx. 7.6” (19,5 cm) tall. If you wish to make a larger or smaller version of this bat, you can just use thicker or thinner yarn with a matching size crochet hook.

This pattern is also suitable for wool or cotton yarn. Stylecraft Special DK was used to create the bats in the pictures.
