#46 – Bat Bow

When I was little, my mother made four Halloween costumes (one each for my three brothers and I) and as the years passed, getting bigger meant moving to the next costume in the line-up! I started off as a turtle, became a pumpkin, then a Native American, before finally becoming a dinosaur. However, my favourite costume was the turtle, hands down. I loved this handmade aspect to Halloween, and I was very excited to keep it going this year.

I thought this bat bow-tie was absolutely adorable when I saw the pattern, and it’s so quick and easy to work up! The only real change I made was that I added a chain to make wearing the bat easier. I chained 100 stitches, and that worked fairly well for my neck. I placed it under the bat body when I joining the two pieces in order to secure it.

I know that it’s meant to be a bow-tie, but I thought that it makes for a very cute necklace as well! Since chokers are coming back in style, it would definitely be a fun way to add a touch of Halloween chic to an outfit on October 31.

Have you guys made anything for Halloween this year? I’d love to hear from you! Until next time, happy crafting!
