Who Can Tackle This Wreath Pattern?
This crochet Halloween wreath pattern will suit intermediate crocheters perfectly. It requires knowledge of amigurumi techniques such as working in the round, shaping, and sewing. The pattern provides clear, detailed instructions to help you get through each step of the project.
How Many Skulls Fit On the Wreath?
For a wreath that measures 12″ (30 cm) in diameter, you need to make 8 skull motifs. However, feel free to experiment with their number and placement to create your own unique piece. You can easily change their size by switching to a larger or smaller hook or a different yarn weight.
Tools Needed for This Crochet Halloween Wreath
The pattern calls for medium-weight yarn and two crochet hook sizes – 3.75 mm for the skull motifs and 4 mm crochet hooks for the ruffle part.
The photopragged version was made with Red Heart Super Saver in Soft White, Charcoal, and Pumpkin. But don’t hesitate to use any other yarn or Halloween-themed palette. Personally, I would swap the fiery orange shade for deep green to get a different effect.
To complete this project, you’ll also need a 12-inch diameter metal wreath. You can use a larger or smaller hoop, but in that case, you will have to adjust the number of skull pieces.
Where to Display Your Circle of Skulls
With this Circle of Skulls Wreath, you are ready to add some spooky atmosphere to every space. You can use it to decorate the wall in your room or the hallway. However, the ideal way to display it is to hang it on your front door and spread the eerie spirit of the season to all who visit your home!
