  • 2.0 mm crochet hook
  • 6 mm safety eyes
  • Black embroidery floss
  • Sewing needle

Understanding Bat Amigurumi Terminology

Familiarize yourself with these common crochet abbreviations used throughout the pattern:

  • Row (R)
  • Magic circle/magic ring (mc)
  • Chain (ch)
  • Stitch (st)
  • Single crochet (sc)
  • Increase – 2 single crochets in the same stitch (inc)
