Frightfully Adorable Baby Bat Costume: Crochet Baby Bat Set

With a winged onesie and cute little ears, the Frightfully Adorable Baby Bat Set pattern will make sure your baby takes first prize at the costume party.

A Cute Crochet Halloween Costume for Baby

Everyone will ooh and ah, wondering where such a darling bat costume came from. And the pictures! Baby—and your crochet skills—will be the star of your social media.

Halloween costumes for babies are always cute, and many are clever. However, they can feel cumbersome to put on your wriggly little one and, not to mention, expensive to buy.

Babies often resist wearing them, and no wonder. Not so with the Frightfully Adorable Baby Bat Set. The soft merino wool yarn and onesie-style construction let babies stretch and spread their new bat wings freely.

Plus, the snap-tape closure makes dressing and undressing easier, no matter how much your baby wiggles. And the hat! The ribbing keeps it comfortably in place, while the big floppy ears add the final batty touch.

How to Crochet the Baby Bat Costume

The Frightfully Adorable Baby Bat Set onesie pattern mainly uses single crochet. First, you begin with the back. Next, you shape the armholes and crochet the front, neckline, and sleeves.

You crochet the wings separately and then sew them to the body. The wings feature a picot edge for an extra cute detail.

Meanwhile, the hat starts with a magic ring. From there, you work in single rounds until you reach the ribbing. Finally, you crochet the ears separately and stitch them to the cap.
