I don’t understand the arm hole shaping?? Where am I putting these stitches to start it?? The top of the last row I crocheted? Thank you, Jamie A few years ago, I made our girls these fabulous DIY bat costumes for Halloween. They were comfortable, easy to make, and so fun. I’m allergic to wool but would like to make this got a friend. Do you have a suggestion got a different yarn? Good afternoon. I would love to make this for my grandson but I only knit. Do you have a pattern for a knitted version

When this picture was taken he was almost a year old. Keep in mind that a lot of those onesies are super stretchy and crochet isn’t. 🙂 That’s one thing I have to keep in mind when using onesies as guides for baby clothes.This adds width to the onesie and you chain, then crochet into the chains and across the stitches that are already there. I am a member and had already gone to the library. All I can find is the pattern for the onesie. No bat hat pattern. I have a color question. I see on the list of materials that there are 2 colors. I don’t see any instructions for color changes though. Do you work with both colors at once or are parts of the costume made from each color? Thank you for the help.

Row 1: Sl st in first 2 sts, ch 1, sc in each st to last 2 sts, leave rem sts unworked, turn – 28 (32) sts. Hi Meaghan. I haven’t sized it down for a newborn but you could try making it with a smaller hook. 🙂 I originally published this post in 2015 and I’ve updated it recently to answer several readers’ questions and add more detailed steps on how to make the bat wings. You can see more photos of our girls wearing their DIY bat costumes that year in our 2015 Halloween Photos.Row 11: Ch 3, (dc in next 9 dc, 2 dc in next dc, ch 2) twice, dc in next 9 dc, 2 dc in next dc, turn – 33 sts. At the top of the arms, just extended the pattern several inches, so you have enough fabric to fold over their arms. It also fits really well since I used a onesie as a guide (we sure do have enough of them!) and the snap tape makes it easy to get baby in and out – something that a lot of knit and crocheted baby items don’t think about! I love designing baby things, though, and even when we don’t have a baby in the house I will still keep making baby items. I’ll just have to find someone else’s little one to model for me!

Oh sorry… the image that says “see how to make it”, is a pinnable image for this blog post. We didn’t actually include a pattern for the bat wings in this post because it is quite simple to cut and it’s best to base it on the length of your child’s arms. Did you love bats as a child or do you have a kiddo that already loves them? Well, we have bat costumes for kids that will let them take flight when they grab on the wings to the bat costume they love. We also have cozy bat adult costume sizes since we know a bat costume is sure to be both comfortable and spooky. That’s because this diverse selection of costumes and accessories are ready to put you in touch with your inner bat. Become a vampire with these bat costumes or focus on beco ming a powerful female with the characteristic costume from the Munsters . Act fast on this top adult bat costume and you’ll be ready to take to the night. (And just think of the compliments on the costume you’re bound to get.) I love to sew, but life is so busy it seems like Halloween is the main chance I get to sew. While in the last several years our girls’ costumes have become much more elaborate to make, these bat costumes were nice and simple. Fold the fabric in half length-wise so that the center fold of the fabric is lined up with the vertical edge of your wing pattern. Congratulations on the new great grandson!! I would try going down a hook size or two to make it smaller. Also, get a newborn onesie and use it as a guide for length. This is how I made my original sizes for this pattern. I had the onesies with me and made sure it matched in armhole depth, etc. Just be sure your onesie isn’t one of those teeny ones that stretch a ton. 🙂
A Warm Halloween Costume
It’s still super hot here in TN but I’m already thinking fall and thinking about what the boys want to be for Halloween. Since the baby has already outgrown this I will have to find something else for him to wear this year but it’s a good excuse to crochet another cute costume. 😉 My first great grandson will be born in mid-October and my granddaughter wants a bat outfit for him. I love your little onsie and so did she. To knit this in a newborn size, how and where would you adapt it? I am also thinking in terms of making it into a cocoon rather than as a onsie, so I plan to put a drawstring at the bottom rather than snaps.

We considered putting in an official pattern in this post, but we thought people would have an easier time just sketching it out using the exact length of their children’s arms. While I sewed the ears that the girls are wearing in this video, you can easily make your bat ears without sewing. Row 9: Ch 3, (dc in next 7 dc, 2 dc in next dc, ch 2) twice, dc in next 7 dc, 2 dc in next dc, turn – 27 sts. Hi! If I wanted to do this for newborn, how would I decrease my number of chains/ stitches? Thank you!I want to be able to easily change a diaper without having to undo a ton of buttons, and, let’s face it – two buttons at the crotch area is not going to stay closed very well so larger buttons don’t work that great. I wanted snaps like a regular onesie and thank goodness snap tape is out there. I’m running so late with crocheting this. Was I supposed to continue crocheting the front side from the 2nd shoulder ribbing? I finished off the 2nd shoulder ribbing and started new for the front but at Row 14 it says: Ch 6, sc in 2nd ch from hook and in each st across – 27 (31) sts. You will need more than one ball of yarn to complete this. Instructions call for 3 balls at 100g each. Oh where does the time go? It seems like just yesterday we brought this little guy home from the hospital and now he is nine months old!! I took these pictures over the summer when he was smaller but time has just flown by so fast. Row 6: Ch 3, (2 dc in next dc, dc in next 4 dc, ch 2) twice, dc in next 4 dc, 2 dc in next dc, turn – 18 sts.
