Continue increasing 6 stitches per round, keeping the rug flat, until diameter reaches approx. 35–40 cm (14–16 in).
At this point, choose ONE logo method below.
OPTION A — 🦇 Integrated Batman Logo (Colorwork)
This method creates the bat directly inside the rug, exactly like the reference photo.
No applique, no sewing the logo later.
General Colorwork Rules
- Carry unused yarn neatly along the back
- Keep color changes tight to avoid gaps
- Always maintain total stitch count for a flat circle
🦇 Bat Logo Placement
- Logo spans approx. 60% of rug diameter
- Centered horizontally and vertically
- Worked over 8–10 rounds, depending on rug size
Upper Wings (Rounded with Notches)
Begin switching to black for short stitch sections.
Example structure per round (adjust stitch counts proportionally):
- Yellow → Black (left wing curve) → Yellow (wing notch)
- Black (center body)
- Yellow (wing notch) → Black (right wing curve) → Yellow
Each new round:
- Increase black stitch sections slightly outward
- Keep yellow dips shallow to form wing contours
Ears (Sharp, Pointed)
Over the next 2 rounds:
- Narrow the central black section
- Form two distinct peaks by:
- Working 3–4 black stitches
- Switching briefly to yellow
- Returning to black for the second ear
This creates the iconic ear points (not rounded).
Lower Wings & Tail
Continue expanding black outward while shaping the bottom edge:
- Create three downward scallops:
- Left wing dip
- Center tail dip
- Right wing dip
Achieved by alternating:
- Short black sections
- Narrow yellow gaps
No chains or fringe — all shaping is stitch-based.
Closing the Logo
- Gradually reduce black stitches each round
- Return fully to yellow once bat shape is complete
🌕 Continue Rug After Colorwork
Resume solid yellow rounds, maintaining circle increases, until final diameter is reached.
OPTION B — 🦇 Batman Logo Appliqué (Sewn On)
This option is ideal if you prefer:
- modular construction
- easier color control
- sewing the logo afterward
🦇 Batman Appliqué (Black)
Worked flat, then sewn to the rug.
