Crochet Bat & Witch Hat Patterns: 12 Free Halloween Designs
These crochet bat and witch hat patterns come from their original designers and cover everything from a garland-sized mini bat to a 9.5-inch wingspan plush, plus two witch hat versions for topping off any Halloween amigurumi. Open the designer pages for the full instructions, materials, and finishing details before choosing one.
Safety eyes and fiberfill cover the bat patterns; the witch hats need almost nothing beyond a hook and a small amount of yarn.
Bat and witch hat patterns to explore
1. Batty Batty Bats
Designer Brenna Eaves of Little Raven Fiber Arts, published on FurlsCrochet, goes big here at roughly 9.5 inches wingspan and 6.5 inches tall. It’s the most involved pattern on this list: front and back panels are worked flat in worsted weight, then sandwiched together with stuffing, with scalloped wing edging and finger-loop feet for hanging.
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 strings a row of 4-inch bats onto a simple chain garland instead of making one standalone piece, similar in spirit to a ghost garland but for bats. Ruffled wing edges and small chain-and-slip-stitch legs finish each one before it’s glued to the base chain.
4. Batilda
The Loopy Lamb uses super bulky yarn for a quick 5-inch no-sew bat that takes about 20-25 minutes start to finish. Bobble-stitch ears and chain-stitch wings are worked right into the body as you go, so there’s no separate assembly step at the end.
5. Witch Hat (3 Sizes)
Cuddly Stitches Craft gives you a small, medium, and large size in one pattern, all in sport weight yarn, worked cone-first from a magic ring with a separate brim and banded buckle detail added after. Small enough to top an amigurumi pumpkin or ghost from elsewhere on this list.
6. Amigurumi Witch Hat
Easy Breezy Crochet keeps this one to a single 2-inch size in light worsted yarn, with a front-loop-only brim round for texture and an embroidered buckle. The designer notes the first few rounds are fiddly given how few stitches you’re working with, so it’s a better second-hat project than a first one.
7. Bat Pocket Pet
Virkadia builds this one at 5.75 inches tall in medium weight yarn with separately crocheted ears, wings, legs, and body assembled at the end. White fang details embroidered against a black mouth add a bit more character than most bat patterns bother with.
8. Lanine the Bat
Designer Mes Mignonneries, shared on Always Free Amigurumi, keeps this one small at 9 cm using cotton yarn and a 3mm hook. A circle of thin cardboard sewn into the base gives it enough stability to actually stand up on its own, a detail most of the other bat patterns here skip.
9. Crochet Bat
Hello Yellow Yarn works this one in DK weight in whatever color you like rather than sticking to black, with wings crocheted flat in rows and wrapped partway around the body rather than sewn on as a separate flat piece. A genuinely beginner-friendly pattern despite the invisible decrease technique used throughout.
10. Witch Hat for Dolls
Craft Passion sizes this one specifically to fit dolls and stuffed animals at 4 inches tall with a 4-inch head circumference, worked in light worsted acrylic over 26 rounds with a separate band and buckle sewn on after. About 20 minutes start to finish.
11. Witch Hat Cutie
Virkadia takes a different approach entirely, turning the witch hat itself into a full amigurumi character with an embroidered face rather than a simple accessory. At 5.5 inches tall with 44 rounds of construction, it’s a standalone project rather than a topper for something else on this list.
12. Mini Witch Hat and Broomstick
Curious Papaya keeps the hat itself tiny at about 2.5 inches, worked in light worsted yarn, but adds a matching crocheted broomstick with floral-wire bristles that none of the other witch hat patterns here include.
Choosing a bat or witch hat pattern
For bats, decide on scale first: StringyDingDing’s garland bats and The Loopy Lamb’s Batilda both stay small and quick, Mariska Vos offers both a small and large option in one pattern, and FurlsCrochet’s Batty Batty Bats is the largest, most detailed build. Either witch hat pairs well as a topper for the pumpkin or ghost patterns elsewhere on the blog. Use each designer’s own directions for construction and safety choices rather than mixing details between patterns.
