  5. Oh! We've been having something of a bat-themed crafty weekend here, so these would be so fitting. And your bats are not only wonderful but they even appear easy(ish) for this novice knitter. Well, easy(ish) if I could just keep count of my rows.

    Thank you!

  19. What a great, simple pattern! These bats would be great on a window, AND would last much longer than the paper cutouts I've been using for years. Thanks for the design!
