  Step 1

  he Essentials:

  Hook: 3.5mm

  Wool: Batman: Black, grey, yellow, peach. Robin: Red, green, yellow, peach, black.

  Also needed: Batman: black felt. Robin: Yellow and black felt.

  Finished Size: 2” tall, 2-3” wide.

  Terms:

  CH = Chain

  SC = Single Crochet

  INC = Increase

  DEC = Decrease

  NB: I start my amigurumi using CH2 for simplicity, but if you prefer you can use a magic ring.

  The head and body are crocheted in one piece, in the round with continuous spirals.

• 

  Step 2

  CH2 in black

  Round 1: 6sc into centre of 2nd stitch from hook [6]
  Round 2: INC around [12]
  Round 3: [1sc, INC] Repeat around [18]

  Switch to yellow

  Round 4: [2sc, INC] Repeat around [24]

  Switch to grey

  Round 5 - 7: Sc around [24]
  Round 8: [2sc, DEC] Repeat around [18]
  Round 9: [1sc, DEC] Repeat around [12]
  Round 10: DEC around [6]

  Stuff firmly.Don’t worry about the stripe jog you’ll get as shown in the picture - we’ll be covering that with wings, so it’s actually a good indicator of the back of your Batman! DON'T FINISH HERE - THERE'S MORE IN THE NEXT STEP!

  Step 3

  Switch to peach

  Round 11: INC around [12]
  Round 12: [1sc, INC] Repeat around [18]
  Round 13: [2sc, INC] Repeat around [24]
  Round 14 - 16: Sc around [24]
  Round 17: [2sc, DEC] Repeat around [18]
  Round 18: [1sc, DEC] Repeat around [12]
  Round 19: DEC around [6]

  Finish off, stuff firmly and sew the hole closed.

  Step 4

  Batman Cowl

  Crocheted in continuous spirals in black yarn.

  CH2

  Round 1: 6sc into 2nd stitch from hook [6]
  Round 2: INC around [12]
  Round 3: [1sc, INC] Repeat around [18]
  Round 4: [2sc, INC] Repeat around [24]
  Round 5 - 7: Sc around [24]
  Round 8: SL ST around [24]

  Finish off leaving a VERY long tail for sewing. You’ll be left with a sort of dome.

• 

  Step 5

  Pull the cowl onto Batman’s head (this will take a bit of squeezing and squashing until it looks right).

  Sew around the brim using the yarn tail to secure.

• 

  Step 6

  Take the tail up through the head to sew on the nose and mouth (you can see it’s designed to look like a bat, NOT a human). Remember to make sure the jog line is at the back!

  With any remaining yarn, take it to the top of the head to create the keyring loop.

• 

  Step 7

  Cowl Ears

  CH 3 in black.
  Row 1: 2sc starting 2nd chain from hook.
  Finish leaving long tail for sewing.

• 

  Step 8

  Sew in place on top of the cowl. Using peach (or white) yarn, sew a couple of eyes.

• 

  Step 9

  Decoration

  To finish off your Batman, grab the felt and cut a small bat motif and a large pair of wings as shown. Cutting the wings is easiest if you make a template first. You only need to do half since they symmetrical - fold your felt in half, cut round your half template and you’ll get two matching sides. You can do the same with the motif too.

• 

  Step 10

  Sew or use a glue gun to attach them in place - the motif on his chest, and the wings on his back over the jog line. Add your keyring, and Batman is finished!
