Nats, Bats and other creatures
Here's a simple pattern that can be modified for a lot of different creatures, Pokemon or otherwise. A good way to use up your stash of fashion yarns that you didn't know what to do with. I added the details for the patterns you see here, Woobat, Venonat and Igglytuff, but you can add your own things and make whatever you like.
