Crocheted bats are a great decoration around the home for Halloween or as a present to a bat-loving friend. Crocheting a bat doll may seem difficult because of the intricate shape of the wings, but it is really a cinch if you know the basic crochet stitches. To make bat wings for a doll, you should know how to single crochet, double crochet, triple crochet and half-double crochet.
