“I made a promise on the grave of my parents that I would rid this city of the evil that took their lives. By day, I am Bruce Wayne, billionaire philanthropist. At night, criminals, a cowardly and superstitious lot, call me… Batman.” – Hush, Chapter 12: The End | story: Jeph Loeb | art: Jim Lee
Well, you know what! Batman dropped by my place today and he said to tell you he says hi! I was expecting to him to be a lot bigger and well, you know, muscular but the fella turned out to be just a little over 6.5 inches tall! And slightly rounder around the tum! Well, Christopher Nolan, you lied—Batman doesn’t look like Christian Bale at all!

UPDATE [December 30, 2014]: How to Join Batman’s Legs
Some of you told me the instructions for joining Batman’s legs are a bit fuzzy. [Insert sound of my heart breaking here]. So I’ll try and explain it a bit differently with a sample photograph. 
Hold both legs together. Make sure the shoes face away from you. With the ‘working’ piece on the right and the second leg on the left, find and mark the stitch on the second (left) leg that would be the middle of the left inner thigh. Insert hook in this stitch and make an sc. Now sc in the remaining 14 stitches of the left leg. Next, sc in all 15 stitches on the right leg. This joins your amigurumi’s legs. The combined stitch count of the joined legs should be 30 (15 stitches per leg).
I hope this makes the instructions clear(er). 😀
Tales of Twisted Fibers 
great pattern Serah! Love your Batman version! Love him!
Thank you so much, Vanja! I’m so happy you like him 🙂
I am having a hard time with the underwear plz help
I was following the instructions and had to stop at round 16, couldn’t figure out what I was supposed to do fasten off and add peach color where? Crochet on wrong side or just look to see round 14 visable loops? Wrong side of head? Confused Help!
I am making him now but the pattern doesn’t show how to attach the head
Pin the body to the head using pearl headed pins and sew in place.
I am unable to download the pattern. I would love to make it for grandson.
What size patch do I need and do you have a pattern for a cape to put on him
Wow, this pattern is perfect! Thank you very much for sharing it! I’m looking forward to try it, but I don’t have much time right now.
I hope in the future I can show you my little Batman 😉
I’ll be looking forward to meet your little Batman 🙂
This is adorable! Very cute Batman, I love him!
Aww…. Thank you so much, Karin 🙂
This is perfect and just in time, my grandson loves to play Lego City and I was wondering where I could come up with a pattern for Batman, now if I can just figure out some of the other characters in the game. Thank kyou so much for sharing.
I’m glad you like him, Janice. I hope your grandson likes him too 🙂
Awesome 🙂 I love it!!!
Hugs, Lyanne
Thank you, Lyanne 🙂
I’m having trouble downloading the batman pattern. When I click on download, all I get is a page with a print and download button, but they won’t do anything. What am I doing wrong?
I just checked the link and it seems to be working fine. You’re probably seeing blank pages because the server is taking a little time to load the images. But just in case it’s a browser incompatibility issue, and to play it safe, I’ll be mailing you the pattern in a bit.
I just love all your patterns. I hope to soon buy some and the books. they look great. thank you for sharing your free patterns. their great. keep up the wounderful work you do. thank you,love debi

Hey, thanks for your answer!
I tried it a few minutes ago with my Computer at home, the download works fine. I think my iPhone just wants to annoy me…

I just checked; the link is working fine. Please try downloading using a different browser or device. If you’re still unable to download, please leave me your email address and I’ll mail you the pattern.
Thanks a lot for that pattern. My son will love it for sure.
You’re welcome 🙂

I made your Batman pattern and my nephew is just in Heaven. Now I’m trying to make a superman Batman has a buddy as he puts it. Wish me luck
I’m so happy to hear that! Happy kids = happy us, right? I’d love to see your Batman and Superman once they’re done. Good luck! 🙂
I’m having so much fun with your pattern… now to just figure out how to embed a picture LOL

Ok I think I got it…. More friends for Batman I think. LOL
Hey! Thanks for the link. They’ve turned out great! Love them all, especially the Wolverine! 🙂
Hola…he descargado el patron pero no lo puedo traducir al español. Es posible darme la traduccion? Es un lindo diseño que deseo hacer. Gracias.
Hi Veronica! I’m sorry but the pattern is not available in Spanish. I wish I could help but this is a language I’m not familiar with. 😦
I can’t seem to print or download your batman pattern. Is there anyway that you could e-mail it to me? My nephew really wants him for his birthday.
I hope you received the pattern I sent by email. The problem you faced was due to the huge number of pattern downloads that maxed out my monthly bandwidth limit. All the patterns are now stored on WordPress itself. So hopefully there shouldn’t be anymore problem. 🙂
When I click to download I get a page asking me to install some download software. Is there anywhere else I can find your pattern? Ravelry, maybe? Thanks 🙂
Hello Dawn! Yes, I realized the storage provider was forcing mobile phone and tablet users to download its app before they could access the pattern. How messed up is that! I’ve transferred all my patterns to WordPress. You should have no problem downloading the patterns now. 🙂
comment télécharger vos modèles svp ils sont magnifique merci
Il faut cliquer sur download près du texte 😊
Hi Serah,
I don’t know if it’s because it’s late and I’m tired, but I’m having a difficult time understanding the pattern. The first part of the body, where you join the legs together doesn’t make sense to me. When it says to insert hook into the 2 stitches that meet in the center and make an sc, and continue making stitches in rem 29 sts. How exactly am I doing this? I hope my question makes sense. Thanks!
I’ve added a section at the end of this post on how to join amigurumi legs. I hope it helps. If not, you know where to find me. 😉
That makes perfect sense! Thank you very much for explaining it to me! 🙂
Thanks for this amazing pattern – I’ve made 5 batmans and adapted it for a spiderman and a Robin and now working on a superman for my sons and friend’s children. Never had an issue with the joining of the legs!
Aww… your kids look so happy with their superhero toys! And great job on Spidey and Robin. They look fantastic. 🙂 Thanks so much for sharing these pics, Megan.
the first sc connect 2 legs together. we lost one st. so for this round only has 29 st. do you inc one st for a total of 30sts? and where? at front or back?
I’ve added a section on joining legs at the end of the post. You might want to take a look at that.
Yours is the cutest Batman out there — thanks so much for sharing the pattern! I’ve been having trouble finding affordable sock yarn in these colors. What kind did you use?
Thanks so much. I’m glad you think so. 😀 I used Millennium by Vardhman, which I think is available only in South Asia. But a lot of folks on Ravelry have substituted it with various yarn weights with fantastic outcomes. Perhaps you would like to see what they’ve used. Here’s the link: http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/batman-amigurumi-2/people
Reblogged this on angemendivil.
Thanks so much. 🙂
me podrias pasar el patrón en español ya que me encanta
Thank you! I can’t wait to have a little Batman of my own!
You’re welcome. 🙂
thanks for the pattern! It is adorable! I’m just working on the head and on round 16 when you change to skin color I am so confused on what you mean by join to visible stitch from round 14? I have no idea where to attach the skin color. Hope you can explain it a little better for me. Thanks!
In Round 14, you work single crochet stitches as you would normally do. However, in Round 15, you work only on the front loops of Round 14, which leaves the back loops free for you to work on in the next round, i.e. Round 16. So in Round 16, you join the yarn in one of these free back loops and sc around.
I hope this makes it clear. Have fun hooking up your little Batman!
Thank you so much! Figured out the problem I didn’t crochet in just the front loops for 15. Thanks.
I have never worked with yarn this thin our a hook this small. Do you think i could use a larger hook & thicker yarn?
Yes, you can substitute it with any yarn of your choice. 🙂
any tips for adding the “nose” to batman. i don’t see any instructions for that in the pattern. thanks! he is adorable!
There is no nose. LOL! But when you work an hdc, dc, tr, dc, hdc in Round 15, it creates a triangular ‘flap’ on his mask right over the area where his nose is supposed to be. So that takes care of the missing nose problem. 🙂
Thanks for a great pattern! I admire your talent. I just finished him and he turned out so cute. I added a little cape. Thanks again for sharing.
🙂
Hi! I’m about to start the flesh color of the head. Round 15 only says to work in FLO when making the five stitches in the parentheses. Then Round 16 says to work in the visible loops. Are the slip stitches also worked in the front loops only? When working on the WS of the head, does that mean I’m stitching from the inside out?
Thanks 🙂
Hi Maria, could you please read my response to HOLLI’s query. I’ve explained it there. 🙂
Hello,
This pattern is awsome! But i can’t find the link for the download. Can you help me?
Hi Tessa, the download link is below the second photograph on this post. All you need to do is click on the text that says “DOWNLOAD PATTERN”. 🙂
I have made your batman and love him. Someone just told me that batman is copyrighted. Does that apply to crocheted batman
Thank you. I’m glad you like him. 🙂 And yes, you’re right, Batman is copyrighted by DC comics. And while the copyright holder may not sue you for creating “fan art” (such as this crocheted Batman) for non commercial purposes, selling it will definitely be viewed as copyright violation.
Could you please email pattern having issues. TIA!
Hi, thx for this great pattern! 😊
Just a little question, whenous you start the first round of the arm you say that you will have 12 stitches but when you finish round 8 of the glove you end with 18? How can i have 12 stitches at the end?
You increase 6 stitches on round 8, that’s how you get 18 st. ☺
Yes I know but the pattern sais 12… 😉
The 18 stitches you get is when you increase 6 stitches working “only on the front loops” on round 8. When you add the arm to the glove, you begin by working on the 12 “back loops” that has been left unworked on round 8 of the glove. Please read the instructions at the beginning of the arm section.
(Begining of the arm with 12 stitches)
Hi m’y Batman is read’y since a while but I don t have eyes and can t find them do you have an idea of how to crochet them? How can i post a picture of my création? Thank you very much!
if you can crochet in rounds then just use color of choice and crochet a few rnds. then hand sew them on. you can also purchase safety animal eyes from Amazon. They sell them in all shapes, sizes and colors
Thank you for your help, Isabel. ☺
You can also search etsy. I think that is where I ended up getting mine. It is actually a nice resource for craft supplies.
This is awesome!!! My fiancees last legal name is Batman, yes he was born with that name it is of German orgin. I didn,t believe him when he first told me until he showed me his birth certificate. Just in time for Christmas. Thank you.
Then he’s definitely going yo love it. ☺

Your Batman looks awesome! Love the photo with the bat signal. Great job! Thanks so much for the link. 🙂
Beachte, dass in den Neuigkeiten keine Meldungen angezeigt werden, die Nicht-Freunde nicht sehen könnten.
I am new to this and don’t understand some of the abbreviations such as BLO, FLO, FO.
Am I missing something?
Maureen.
Hi Maureen, BLO is short for crocheting in back loop only and FLO for front loop only. FO stands for fasten off. You can look them up online; there are tons of written and video tutorials that explain how to do these. 🙂
Thank you so much. I’m game to try now.
Thank you for the emailed patterns Serah. Batman is taking shape, can’t wait to see him finished.
Will you please send me the pattern. Nothing is opening when I try to download, I know it is prob my tablet. But if you can, I would love to try this pattern. Thank you and great job!
Yay, I was able to get it, Thank you for your hard work and sharing 🙂
🙂
I can’t seem to get the download either, I click & it looks like it’s going to download, but nothing.
I have a lot of little batman fans in my family that I’d absolutely love to make this for! Such a sweet little stuffy
Hi Jana. I just checked, the link is working. If you’re still having problem downloading it, please send me a mail from my Contact page and I’ll mail you the pattern.
Drei Reisetage sollte man schon einplanen, bis man ganz im Süden angekommen ist.
hello and thank you for this pattern. I am planning to make it for my nephew’s birthday
are terms in American or English crochet please?
thank you!
Hello Anna. All patterns on this blog use US terminology. 🙂
It is amazing!! thank you! My kids are loving it!!! Gracias por compartir!
Saludos desde México.
Thank you so much for creating and sharing this pattern. I have made several versions for my nephews, nieces, and cousins and everyone loves them! Is there a hashtag I could include to tag you?
Thank for for the free batman pattern. I’m having trouble with the arms though. The glove ends on 18 st but the arm starts with 12st. Is there supposed to be a decrease somewhere that I missed?
Hi Jenn! The stitch counts are different because we are first working only on the front loops for gloves and then only on the back loops for arms.
If you look closely at instructions for Round 8 of Gloves, you’ll see we are working only on the front loops to make the cuff of the glove. The increases made on the front loops of this round brings the stitch count to 18 from 12.
However, the back loops of this round are not worked on; hence the stitch count remains unchanged at 12. When we start working on the Arm (Round 1), we join the yarn (and work on) on these very back loops of the glove (Round 8) that were left untouched earlier.
I hope this makes it clear. 🙂
How much yarn do you use for each part?
You’ll need less than 25 grams per color.
Made it made it love it!
Improvised and stitched eyes and also made a tie on cape.
Thank you for the pattern.
Where do I post pictures?
I always love to see improvised versions of my patterns. If you are on Instagram, you can tag me in the pic [my handle is @twistedfibers] or use the hashtag #talesoftwistedfibers. Or you can mail me the pic at talesoftwistedfibers@gmail.com. Whatever works for you.
I am just starting this pattern and just need a clarification. On the boots, round 2 states sc 4, inc in the next 3 st. Does that mean to increase, if so how many stitches per stitch?
“sc 4, inc in the next 3 st” means sc in the next 4 sts, increase in each of the next 3 sts. Increase means you have to make 2 sts in the same stitch.
