Just in time for Halloween, here is a Spooky Skull for you to make. One skein of yarn will make a lot of Skulls; which makes them perfect goodies for dropping into Trick-or-Treat bags.
Supplies:
5.00 mm crochet hook
Antique White yarn
Black yarn
* colors based on Read Heart Super Saver yarn
stuffing material
yarn needle
scissors
Abbreviations Used:
Rnd(s) --- round(s)
ch --- chain
sc --- single-crochet
st/sts --- stitch/stitches
sc2tog --- single-crochet 2 stitches together
Notes:
--- Be sure to move the stitch marker up as you complete each round.
--- Instead of Black yarn, you could use felt to create the facial features.
