Row 11: D1 EW1, P1 EW3 P1 EW3 P1 EW3 P1, D1 EW1
Row 12: D1 P1, EW3 P1 EW3 P1 EW3, D1 P1
DSCOF
Make two, sew to the back center of the bat starting with one end of the wing and sew from bottom to top of the body. I show to put the EW side faceing away from me when looking at the bat. It is only preference. After this take your pipe cleaner fold in half and send through the wings starting at the DSCOF and into the body all the way to the other DSCOF. This gives support for the wings to stay up and not flop over completely.

Essembling:
Sew your applique onto your shield, the lightly tack downthe shield to the front of your tunic to make sure it is flat and even on the tunic front, then sew down. Then sew up the sides only to the 1st purled row and stop on both sides. Sew up the shoulder with the back side should being shorter. Add your buttons at the top edge of the should seem to the front of the tunic on both sides. Due to the loose stitch you can easily button and unbotton the shoulder area. To add a cape make button holes at the top corners of your 1 yard fabric and slip it through the buttons. With the additions below sew your cape onto the shoulder shield and the shoulder shields you can easily button and unbutton your cape. Also for extra fun add a belt around the waist with a sash or such. Also  if you would like crochet your edges for a nice clean touch. Also if you want the bottom trim like in the photo please refer to my Knight's Helmet video.
