Bats and witch hats share a post because they pair naturally: top off any of the amigurumi below with one of the two witch hats included, both sized specifically for that. Bat sizes range from garland-scale minis up to a 9.5-inch wingspan plush.
Safety eyes and fiberfill handle the bat patterns; the witch hats are close to a scrap-yarn project, needing little beyond a hook.
Bat and witch hat patterns to explore
1. Batty Batty Bats
Brenna Eaves’ Batty Batty Bats from Little Raven Fiber Arts (published on FurlsCrochet) is about 9.5 inches across the wings and 6.5 inches tall. The bat front and back are worked flat and then sandwiched together with stuffing in between. It uses Furls Wander Worsted in black/purple, white/pink or light/dark grey, a 4 mm (G) Furls Streamline hook, 9 mm black safety eyes, and optional scrap white yarn for teeth. The page also has a note that bats help spread seeds for nuts and cacao.
2. Mikey the Bat
Mariska Vos (DIY Fluffies) keeps this one small at 3 inches in sport weight cotton, with a 7-inch chenille option if you want a bigger, plusher bat instead. The body, ears, and wings are crocheted separately in continuous rounds and assembled at the end.
3. Bat Amigurumi Garland
StringyDingDing’s bat garland has you make a row of small bats and string them on a chain garland, similar in spirit to a ghost garland. Each bat starts from a magic ring, and you mark the eye positions with stitch markers and replace them with safety eyes later. She says the pattern would also be cute in chunky yarn, which makes a bigger bat. Ruffled wing edges and small chain-and-slip-stitch legs finish each one.
4. Batilda
Ashley Parker’s Batilda is a plush yarn bat with basic stitches that she can make in about 20 to 25 minutes. The wings are crocheted as part of the body with chain stitches, so it is no-sew, and you add eye detail with white yarn or embroidery thread. The PDF includes a mini version in worsted weight yarn and a bigger version in super chunky yarn. Her favorite plush yarn is Bernat Blanket, and you can also make the bat in purple or pink.
5. Witch Hat (3 Sizes)
Cuddly Stitches Craft’s witch hat is beginner-friendly and comes in three sizes, small, medium and large, so you can mix and match. The small one is meant to top your other amigurumi Halloween creations. It is worked in continuous rounds, so no slip stitch joins are needed. The page has detailed written instructions, and you can go with classic black or a neon color. It is quick and easy, so you can make several.
6. Amigurumi Witch Hat
Harriet’s mini witch hat is a beginner amigurumi pattern, shown in pink but happy in black, purple or any color. You can use almost any type of yarn, but a tighter stitch keeps the stuffing in, and the yarn thickness changes how big the hat turns out. The page has amigurumi tips for beginners and ideas for ways to use the hat, and it links a separate flat witch hat appliqué pattern if you want an applique. It was first published in September 2023.
7. Bat Pocket Pet
Joey Diehl’s Bat Pocket Pet is made with an H-8 (5 mm) hook and medium (4) weight yarn in two colors (Red Heart Super Saver in Lavender for the main color). It finishes about 5.5 inches wide and 2.5 inches deep, and gauge is 18 single crochets by 21 rows over 4 inches. You can make it bigger or smaller by changing yarn weight or hook size. The ears, wings, legs and body are made separately and assembled at the end.
8. Lanine the Bat
Mes Mignonneries’ Lanine the Bat, shared on Always Free Amigurumi, is about 9 cm tall with the materials listed. You need a piece of thin cardboard, on which you draw a circle about 4 cm across and sew it into the base so the bat can stand up. The safety eyes go between rounds 10 and 11 and the wings are made in dark grey and sewn to the back, with black embroidery thread for details. The page notes you may need smaller or larger eyes if you change hook or yarn size.
9. Crochet Bat
Hello Yellow Yarn’s bat is worked in 8 ply (light worsted/DK) yarn in whatever color you choose, with 9 mm safety eyes and small amounts of black, white and pink for details. She says she was hesitant to make a bat because she didn’t want to use black yarn. The wings are crocheted in rows and wrap partway around the body, and she uses the invisible decrease, though a regular single crochet decrease is fine if you don’t know it.
10. Witch Hat for Dolls
Joanne Loh’s witch hat is made to fit dolls and stuffed animals, and it is a quick project that uses a small amount of leftover yarn. It is worked over 26 rounds with a separate band and buckle sewn on afterward. The page includes a short piece on why witches wear pointy hats, describing a woodcut that made the cone-shaped hat the symbol of a witch, which is fun context if you are making a themed set.
11. Witch Hat Cutie
Joey Diehl’s Witch Hat Cutie turns the witch hat itself into a small character with a face, rather than an accessory. It is made in medium (4) weight yarn in three colors (purple, orange and more in Red Heart Super Saver) with an H-8 (5 mm) hook. It measures about 4.75 inches wide and 4.75 inches deep, and gauge is 18 single crochets by 21 rows over 4 inches. You can scale it by changing yarn weight or hook size.
12. Mini Witch Hat and Broomstick
Curious Papaya’s mini witch hat and broomstick are accessories for amigurumi plushies, made in Hobbii Friends Cotton 8/8 (#3 light worsted) in charcoal, Cool Iris purple, beige and Americano brown. The broom uses about 8 inches (20 cm) of floral wire, and sewing pins are on the supply list. The hat is about 2.5 inches wide and the difficulty is intermediate-beginner. The designer says you may sell finished products in small quantities if you give credit.
