You have my permission to use one photo in your roundup post as long as a link is provided back to the associated pattern page. You have to work the neck ribbing separately for the front and the back so that they can open at the sides with the snap tape. Hi Cheryl – it is under the “Subscriber Exclusive Pattern Downloads” and is the fourth one down –“Baby Bat Costume Hat”. 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. 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.Row 8: Ch 3, (2 dc in next dc, dc in next 6 dc, ch 2) twice, dc in next 6 dc, 2 dc in next dc, turn – 24 sts. To make your own pattern, simple measured your child’s arm span and draw a basic batwing pattern on the back of wrapping paper to get pieces of paper that are large enough. You can make this costume in any worsted weight yarn that gets gauge – a cotton, acrylic or polyester would work. At the top of the arms, I extended the pattern so I would have enough fabric to fold over their arms.

Then draw a vertical line (or use the vertical edge of the paper) that is the height of your child from neck to knees, plus arm circumference. I made each ear by sewing together two triangles of fabric, turning inside out and sliding over the top of wire-framed ear shapes I had attached to a headband. 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. You could try following the shaping guidelines and making the pieces as long as your onesie (so the crotch area to the side seam, then the torso, then work the armholes as long as the onesie, etc) and see how it goes.When our girls got a little older, we made these Teen Halloween Costumes that work well for older kids as well as teenagers. At the top of the arms, just extended the pattern several inches, so you have enough fabric to fold over their arms.

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. A lot of people have had questions about the ribbing – until I get the full video tutorial up here is a quick video showing how I attach my ribbing.

You can see more photos of our girls wearing their DIY bat costumes that year in our 2015 Halloween Photos. They loved the costumes so much, they wore them around the house for ages after… running around pretending they could fly. Since I always make them diy costumes, I worked with the girls to design and make this DIY bat costume.
