This is VLAD! Back in the day when Vlad was a very young bat, he was looking for the meaning of life when another bat crossed his path. Soon Vlad became Batman’s sidekick (of course long before Robin entered the scene). But then Vlad found out that Batman just wore a costume and couldn’t even fly properly! What a bitter disappointment! So he moved on, and with the gathered experience from countless dangerous adventures, he started his career in the movie business as the stunt double for the legendary Bela Lugosi.

Some years and one tooth-surgery later (for a correction of some peculiar misaligned teeth), he actually became a well known movie star! You've probably seen him in 'Nosferatu“, 'The fearless Vampire Killers', or 'Dracula“. After a while, he felt increasingly bored and after he successfully shocked the 1000th screaming maiden in another horror movie, he packed in the job and moved to the countryside to write books about werewolves.

Meet our latest VLAD the Vampire Bat crochet toy. I made him for my son as a birthday present which I started back in February and only just managed to finish it in time for his June birthday. He doesn’t want to call him VLAD and has named him Batsy! I love the Lalylala patterns and have made the lamb before () so I was keen to try another one. I don’t know what it was though but this one was hard going. Mostly I think it was the yarn which I found in a sale bin for $1 at my local craft store. Bargain I thought, I’ve been looking for a yarn with flecks in it to make the bat Lalylala.

The problem was that the yarn was horrible to crochet with and actually squeaked on my crochet hook with almost every stitch. It was like fingernails down a chalkboard and really made it not an enjoyable project to work on.

Then there was the gauge issues and the head I had made nice and tight didn’t fit the black cap so I had to re-do that twice which was also painful. Always up for a challenge and not one to quit I plodded along and managed to finish it in the end.

The cape was the best part to make as it was different yarn and the pattern reminded me of the sweet (and ) I made a few years ago. Batsy’s cape has press studs on the points and on his hands so that it stays on while he’s flying around. I do also have an extra head because of my gauge issues so I’ve technically already started another one, that is if the Lalylala heads are all the same! The bow tie is adorable and frames his little heart shape face so sweetly. Of course bats like to hang upside down so it’s extra handy to have the snaps on the hands for the cape. The pattern is, once again, beautifully written with clear pictures and available in so many different languages which is fantastic. I did make a few modifications with only one layer for each ear instead of two as per the pattern and I kept the cape as one layer also.

I steamed the cape collar with some starch so that it stays standing up like it’s supposed to. I love giving handmade gifts and Zenon enjoyed watching me make his toy.

He kept me motivated with lots of questions about when his bat would be finished. I teased him in the end and said I wouldn’t have it ready and then secretly finished it and wrapped it up for his birthday.

His reaction was priceless. Have you made any of the Lalylala patterns? Are the heads the same? Which one is on your make list? Since 2010 my crafty mum blog – Craftsmumship has had loads of crafty ideas and projects that have inspired me in one way or another. I love exploring all kinds of craft, dreaming them up, starting them and hopefully finishing them.

Most importantly I love sharing my craft with the world on a regular basis. With a family of 4 kids, a couple of alpacas, a dog, loads of chooks, a bunny and a husband, my heart is full.
