Hello Rainbows 🌈
Generally, we associate the Halloween party with horror, characters that are scary or a little creepy. 🎃 With Vampina, I wanted to use a symbol that we use a lot for this party combined with my universe. And if you don’t know my universe yet, to sum it up in a few words: Love, Joy and Magic 💖
That’s how Vampina, the love bat, was born, and this is the pattern that I’m sharing with you today!
I am sharing with you today the pattern of Vampina, the love bat, which you can find for free below or in PDF format in my shop!
You can also find many other of my patterns in the Halloween theme on my site 🎃
Its little story
“Vampina comes from a rather special race of bats that we rarely see. It is a race that has an unusual
characteristic. With her little painless bites, she takes away the hatred and violence that a person may have and then injects them with pure Love. The bitten person then finds himself in a bubble of peace and love. They are little bats that somehow work for peace in the world!“
To see her in more detail, I made a little video for you 😊
🦇 Some technical details about Vampina 🦇
A perfect little bat for a Halloween decoration or to offer. To be made in all the color combinations you like. You can of course also make a version in more traditional Halloween colors like with black and orange. I also made one with these colors so that you can see the result it gives 😃
The pattern is quick and easy and is perfect for crocheters with an advanced beginner level.
To stay in the Halloween theme and to add crocheted elements to your decoration, you can also find candies for Halloween on my website which are available for free by clicking on the image below! 🔽

🦇 Ears
(to be done with pink color)
1st ear
-> Pick up where you left off and continue as follows:
R1: 21 sc then tuck into the 1st starting stitch of the row by first tucking your hook into this stitch to make 1 sc which now counts as the 1st stitch of the next rows
R2: 8 sc, 2 dec, 8 sc (19 counting the 1st starting stitch with the join to the previous R)
R3: 8 sc, 2 dec, 7 sc (17)
R4: 7 sc, 2 dec, 6 sc (15)
R5: 6 sc, 2 dec, 5 sc (13)
R6: 5 sc, 2 dec, 4 sc (11)
R7: 4 sc, 2 dec, 3 sc (9)
R8: 3 sc, 2 dec, 2 sc (7)
R9: 2 sc, 2 dec, 1 sc (5)
R10: 2 dec, leave the last stitch (3)
R11: cut the yarn and pass it through the front loops of the 3 stitches with your needle then tighten to close.
Weave in ends.
2nd ear
R1: Count 3 stitches after the 1st ear and return your hook to make 1 ssc (see tip on my website) then continue with 20 sc. Join the 2 sides by making 1 sc with the starting stitch opposite (by tucking your hook first into the stitch opposite) (21)
During the ssc, you can leave about ten cm of yarn
to sew the space between the 2 ears more easily
later.
R2: 8 sc, 2 dec, 8 sc (19)
R3: 8 sc, 2 dec, 7 sc (17)
R4: 7 sc, 2 dec, 6 sc (15)
R5: 6 sc, 2 dec, 5 sc (13)
R6: 5 sc, 2 dec, 4 sc (11)
R7: 4 sc, 2 dec, 3 sc (9)
R8: 3 sc, 2 dec, 2 sc (7)
R9: 2 sc, 2 dec, 1 sc (5)
R10: 2 sc, leave the last stitch (3)
R11: cut the yarn and pass it through the front loops of the 3 stitches with your needle then tighten to close.
Weave in ends.
Finish stuffing the body so that the upper body is a little flatter to keep the shape of the ears (see photos below). Do not stuff the ears!
If you have kept yarn from the 2nd ear, take this one to sew the remaining stitches between the 2
ears.
Otherwise insert yarn to do so and tighten well so that the stitches on the two edges touch each other
well with a good tension.
Then tuck the yarn into the body, always keeping a good tension.
You have finished the body! 🙂
