This is a gift I have been working on for a bit over 2 weeks for my Hubby.
I took down notes but most of the time I worked on him it was late and I was tired so if there is a mistake let me know and I can fix it.
I used a D, E and F hooks to make this guy, some white felt, felting needle, black, gray, cream yarn, polyfil a darning kneedle and a sewing needle.

Cape F hook--
honestly I was doing this part at 3 AM half asleep and didn’t jot down notes
but looking at the cape finished this is what it looks like I did.
Chain 8 slst to form
ring (All increases will be worked in
HDC unless other wise stated)
R1-Ch 2 (doesn’t
count as a stitch) HDC 12 slst to join - from here out it will be
worked back and forth in row's
R2-Ch2 inc in the next 10 stitchs (leaving 2
unworked this will be the front of the cape)
R3-Ch 2 Inc, hdc 2
R4-6-Ch 2 hdc all
R7- ch 2 inc, hdc 3
R8-13- hdc all
R14- End row--Chain
4 work a linked double treble (instead of doing a YO you will slip the hook
into the 2nd ch and pull up a loop, then repeat in the 3rd and 4th then work
stitch as normal), work a linked treble (work into the yo bars from previous
st), work a link dc, hdc 2, dc, linked treble, linked dc, hdc, dc, link trb,
link dc, hdc 2, dc, link trb, link double trb.
Now keep in mind it
was late so I may have missed an increase row. You want the cape to be able to
cover over the shoulders so you might need to do more or less increases but on
the bottom the import thing is the revers scallop edge if your stitch count is off from mine just
space out the dc trb, trb, dc sections with an additional hdc between them.
I attached my arms and legs then took a lenght of black yarn (about 2 feet) and un plied it. Using 2 of the plys I embroidered on the bat by starting with a V for the main body and working out from there. Next I added the cape making sure it set across the shoulder, then sewed in the head in the space from the capes ch8 starting ring.
