Product Description
Good evening! I’m Vlad. Why, yes, it is a very unoriginal name for a vampire, thank you for pointing that out. Puff! See, now I’m a bat and I don’t need to stay here and continue this fruitless conversation. Farewell!
Yes, that’s true – Vlad is a real vampire and he can turn into a bat whenever he wants. Well, with a bit of your help. He’s tiny - only 8cm (3.2") and even smaller as a bat - 2"(5cm). He’ll make a perfect companion not only during Halloween!
The greatest gif animation by dayana. Thank you!

From Vlad to Bat Crochet Pattern by Justyna Kacprzak
What Is Being Made
From Vlad to Bat is a beginner-friendly crochet toy pattern that features a transforming vampire character named Vlad. The design includes two distinct crocheted forms: Vlad in his vampire form measuring 8cm (3.2 inches) in height, and his bat transformation measuring just 5cm (2 inches). This dual-form amigurumi project creates an interactive toy perfect for Halloween decoration or year-round play and display. The small scale and charming narrative make it an ideal companion piece or gift item.
Craft and Techniques
This pattern is created using crochet, specifically designed for crafters of beginner skill level. The project demonstrates fundamental amigurumi techniques—the Japanese craft of crocheting small, stuffed toy figures. The pattern requires basic crochet skills and familiarity with working in the round to create three-dimensional forms. The transformable nature of the design showcases how simple shape variations can create entirely different characters from the same foundational techniques.
