Hey everyone! I’ve got a new free pattern that’s will hopefully get you geared up for Halloween! Fans of cryptids should hopefully be familiar with Mothman. He’s a creature first spotted on the side of the road in West Virginia. Despite the creepy origins, he’s since developed a cult following with lots of adorable variations made.

This version is a cuter little guy with a bit of a creepy edge. He has a simple small body with tiny arms, skinny legs, and a fluffy neck. Then to finish off the look he has two large wired wings that can be folded up like a cloak! If you swap out the colors you can make moths inspired by other species like a luna moth or death’s head hawkmoth.

As always, the pattern comes with applique templates to make the face details. These will work if you’re sewing the details by regular machine or by hand. If you have an embroidery machine, you’ll find the embroidery files available for download with the buttons below. I hope you all like it!
