Bats!












Twinkle, twinkle, little bat!
How I wonder what you're at!
Up above the world you fly,
Like a teatray in the sky.
Twinkle, twinkle little bat!
How I wonder what you're at!
- Mad Hatter during the mad tea-party, in Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.


For Halloween last year I make pumpkins and the year before I made pumpkin baskets.  This year I moved away from the pumpkins and decided to make some adorable bats.  This was another fun pattern from Mochimochi Land.  The knitting part was pretty fast and easy, but then I had to sew the pieces together and that took forever.  After the first one I modified the pattern to pick up the stitches for the wings and ears and that made things a lot easier.  I was worried that the wings were too curly, but blocking fixed that right up.  All together I made three, but I didn't manage to get a short of them all together on the knitting needle.  Maybe I'll make some more next year...
