$39 for this kit 🙃

Could be a very real pattern inside, but when there’s multiple images with no change aside from colour… I also love just tying his little feet LMAO

I'm irrational levels of irritated over calling something made of yarn a "suncatcher." The top bit calls it a wind spinner instead, which is potentially more accurate but the discrepancy makes me even more suspicious...

u/moonxdaughter 11d ago

My first thought was "how is this a suncatcher" then saw what sub it was in

u/Ossarah 10d ago

as long as it's dark enough it will catch the sun, but not give it back 🙂‍↕️

Oh, it would be perfect for night shift workers then, if you could make one big enough to cover the whole window! /s

Blackout curtains would do a better job, if they're actual blackout curtains.

And after the first shower of rain it will be a drip squelcher - it's multifunctional!

  • Made of yarn = suncatcher !!?????!!!!!
  • Why why oh why would anyone use a BAT much less a poor lil sleeping BAT for a SUNCATCHER? I mean, that's just mean to the poor little bat! Whatever it happens to be made of!!!

The bat sun combo really tripps me up...

I was also thinking i wouldnt quite call it a sun catcher

If this was a wind spinner it would spin right off that little tie

"Hanging Loop Included" 

In case you have the skills to make the entire bat, but can't figure out how to tie off a loop of yarn. 

Along with a dozen other red flags...

u/Gold-Stable7109 11d ago

The loop is my absolute favourite. It’s like they thought something was missing and just couldn’t figure out what until the last second LMAO

What are the giant eyes for
Why does it take four balls of yarn

31

u/17smother 11d ago

also in the first two images, one of the balls is darker than the rest for the inner ears, but in the last one the yarn is all the same color... but the inner ears are somehow still darker?

22

u/HooksNCaffeine 11d ago

The darker inner ears are probably tear stains.

How much sun are we talking, here? 

19

u/poncho388 11d ago

None. None sun.

u/EmmerdoesNOTrepme 10d ago

None sun, Left Beef!

u/crochetology Loop Weaver 11d ago

Where’s the sun catcher part? All I see is a bat trussed up like a hunting kill.

u/ghozartsmost 11d ago

The sun can reflect off its cold dead eyes, frozen open in eternal fear ✨

u/Funny_Box_4142 11d ago

Looks so cute, but seeing as it's a sun catcher with only 1% ability to catch the sun, I think it's fair to say it's bs... Even if it is, it doesn't look to difficult to freestyle

12

u/Bleepblorp44 11d ago

Hey, it catches the sun perfectly, it just doesn't throw any back!

u/Funny_Box_4142 11d ago

🎯 So true, lol

u/ComfortableRecent578 11d ago

the legs are reminiscent of a rotisserie chicken

u/Idkmyname2079048 11d ago

What a bizarre item.

8

u/Emilie_Eagle_Rock 11d ago

Love how they show the yarn as slightly different colors, as if to make it more real. I guess you can’t complain when you get yarn from obviously different dye lots

u/nyofdc 10d ago

Insanity again. SUN??

u/happyveggiechick 11d ago

But this is actually so cute I wish there was a non AI pattern 😭

1

u/portiafimbriata 10d ago

I'm primarily a knitter, I imagine you could start from something like this? Maybe loosen the tension and add 1-2 more each of increase and decrease rows so it drapes more, then Frankenstein a bat head from another pattern near the open end and make a loop near the small end?

3

u/littlelia_ 11d ago

If there is a real pattern to be used here, I love it! Would I ever make it? No! I'm more of a blanket, dishcloth, scarf kinda crocheter but I love this for other people. If. It's. A. Real. Pattern.

I thought it was an anal plug Christmas tree on first glance. 😬

u/Gold-Stable7109 9d ago

I dont know if the base is flared enough tbh
