Bat cat toy

bat cat toy 1

My dad recently got a lovely little rescue cat called Lorelei. Naturally she needs toys. Dad made her a box tunnel, I made her this. Seems appropriate seeing as Halloween is coming up 🙂

This pattern requires 8 ply black and white wool. You will need a 4mm hook. The pattern is written in American crochet notation.

Sew the wings onto the back. Embroider on the face using white wool (the picture provides an example). Attach black wool firmly to the back of the bat and chain 70, fasten off. Tie the end of the chain to a stick (I ‘borrowed’ one of my dad’s gardening stakes).

Have fun playing with your cat 🙂
