Supplies Required For This Skull Lace Shawl
For this crochet shawl, make sure to use a sport weight yarn and a 3.50 mm hook to get that lightweight feel. Thicker yarn might be too heavy and won’t give you as much drape.
The designer recommends using Svarta Fåret Tilda, but any cotton, acrylic, or blend yarn in the same weight should work nicely too. As for the colorway, you can go full in black for a true spooky look or brighten it up with some vibrant colors.
How to Crochet the Skull Shawl
Start this skull lace shawl pattern by crocheting rows of chain spaces and double crochet groups to shape a growing triangle.
As you build the lace, add skull motifs by attaching separate crocheted eye sockets and stitching them into place with single crochets and slip stitches. Then you will form each skull using simple stitches like chains, single, double, and treble crochets. The result is a striking, spooky design full of gothic charm!
