Neon Crochet Fruit Bats
Crochet some cute fruit bats for Halloween with this free amigurumi pattern. One pattern equals a variety of colors!
Hi everyone!
Let me introduce my neon fruit bats! These fruit-inspired bats measure 7” tall x 13” wide. I’ll list what specific yarns I used, but any size 4 worsted-weight yarn works great.
I was originally inspired to create this bat amigurumi pattern by watching PlushiesByAlice and the incredible bats she was making! Her bats were made from a sewing pattern by BeeZeeArt.
While browsing the yarn section in Michael’s, I found a neon yellow yarn that I thought would be perfect for the wings, and my fruit bat crochet pattern was born! This bat amigurumi pattern is 100% free to use.
