Batman Logo Beanies

I love superhero things (of course, I have a boy!), so I've been wanting to do a Batman beanie and possibly a set. But, I couldn't figure out how I would do the bat. Then, I found a really great bat pattern online at Louie's Loops, he even had an oval pattern. So, I started making a beanie with my General Beanie Pattern (also placing a yellow border of sc stiches), then proceeded to make the bat and oval. I loved the way it turned out!






(Every pattern that I currently have available to download is in Word format and is downloadable on my Scribd. If I do not have a pattern there, then I do not have a downloadable version of it. Please do not e-mail me with requests of patterns, as I most likely will not even check my e-mail. I apologize for this but I have a full-time job now and no longer keep up with the pattern requests. Thanks, and here is the link to my Scribd: https://www.scribd.com/ashley_holden_14)


Stitch Abbreviations:
CH = Chain
SC = Single Crochet
DC = Double Crochet
SL ST = Slip Stitch
ST = Stitch(es)
MP = Mini Picot (Chain 2, SL ST in 2nd chain from hook)


You will need size 4 Worsted weight yarn in Black & Yellow (I used I love This Yarn). I used the size H on mine to make it bigger. (Just remember that changes hook changes the size of your work)


Batman Bat (originally found here)
Chain 16
Row 1: Skip first 2 chains, HDC 1, MP, HDC 1 in next two, SC 1, MP, SC 1 in next three, MP, SC 1 in next three, MP, SC 1, HDC 1 in next two, MP, HDC 1, sl.st 1 in same as last. Turn upside down and chain 2 (15)
Row 2: On backside: (In where you put the last HDC and sl.st) DC 1, HDC 1 in next two, SC 1 in next three, MP, SC 1 in next two, MP, SC 1 in next three, HDC 1 in next two, DC 1 (14)
Cut and sew the end into the bat to hide it.

Batman Oval (originally found here)
Chain 2
Round 1: SC 6 in second chain from hook, don’t turn. (6)
Round 2: SC 3 in first st, 2 in next, 1 in next, repeat once. (12)
Round 3: SC 1 in first st, 2 in next three, 1 in next 3, 2 in next three, 1 in last two sts. (18)
Round 4: SC 1 in first two sts, 2 in next (inc), 1, 2, 1, 2, 1 in next four, 2 in next, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1 in last two sts. (24)
Round 5: SC 1 in first three sts, 2 in next, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1 in next seven, 2 in next, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1 in last four sts. (30)
Round 6: SC 1 in first four sts, 2 in next, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1 in next ten, 2 in next, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1 in last six. (36)
Round 7: SC 1 in first five sts, 2 in next, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1 in next thirteen, 2 in next, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1 in last eight. (42)
Round 8: SC 1 in first six sts, 2 in next, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1 in next sixteen, 2 in next, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1 in last ten.




Then I decided to make a set, but wanted to do the beanie a little different (adding braids and earflaps):

You can find the earflap pattern again at the bottom of my General Hat Patterns post.



Bat Ears (my original design)
I used a size H hook and size 4 worsted yarn in black. Add/remove rows or use a different hook size for bigger/smaller ears. Make sure you make two.

Chain 3
Round 1: 4 DC in third chain from hook, join, chain 2 (4 DC)
Round 2: 2 DC in each around, join, chain 2 (8 DC)
Round 3: (DC in first, 2 DC in next) repeat around, join, chain 2 (12 DC)
Round 4: (DC in first 2, 2 DC in next) repeat around, join, chain 2 (16 DC)
Round 5: (DC in first 3, 2 DC in next) repeat around, join (20 DC)
Finish off, leaving a long tail for sewing onto beanie.






These are a couple of versions of diaper covers that I made to go with it, a black with yellow border and a plain black with the logo on the back. (Look at my post Diaper Cover Patterns for more about my diaper covers).







******Credit is given where due, I don't claim any patterns to be mine that are not. If you use this pattern please link back to Butterfly’s Creations, please do not claim patterns as your own that are not yours. I also ask that you do not repost my pattern, it takes quite a bit of time to count everything out and type these up so please give credit where it's due. *****

    1. Sorry so late getting back to you. The pattern isn't my own (I have a link back to the creator), so that's why it looks a little strange. Not sure which numbers you mean, but....when it says SC 1 in next three stitch, you SC one time each of next 3 stitches..... and the numbers in parenthesis at the end are how many stitches that you had total for that row. The sl st ! in same as last just means to do a slip stitch in the same stitch that you did the last stitch in (like on the end of Row 1: "HDC 1, sl st 1 in same as last" means to do both an HDC and a sl st in that stitch). And, you shouldn't have any extra stitches left, I'm not sure exactly how you ended up with extra. I hope this helps!
