Bat

I was commissioned by a friend to create a bat, which may seem like an odd animal choose, except her friend conducts research on bats. I love the idea of sending someone a crochet-version of her study organism! And I knew this was an animal I could take and make really adorable. At first, I wanted to add little fangs to this creature, but my friend suggested something a little less vampire-y (we wouldn't want to perpetuate inaccurate stereotypes of bats...) The result is something so cute I think I will have to make more. Yes, lots of adorable happy bats. This bat companion happily hangs upside down and has a hook and clasp built into its wing, so the wings fold up together. I'm really pleased with how this creature turned out:

Trying on different faces!

Just hangin' around.
