    The bat pattern is super cute! The only thing I wish is that there was stitch counts at the end of each round, i’m having a hard time with rows 3 and 4, and I have no idea where I went wrong.

      I just added stitch counts for the Rows 1-3. Row 4 has many different Sts, so I haven’t add number of stitches as it will be very confusing. Hope this will help!
