The Skull Snowflake crochet pattern by Ann Wanamaker combines traditional snowflake ornaments with a hint of gothic charm. It’s a wonderful proposition for all those who love adding a twist to their festive season. This skull-themed ornament has just the right amount of spooky character and holiday charm — whether you call it Christmas or Gothmas!
Selecting Yarn and Hook
This project uses Red Heart Classic Crochet Thread in Size 10, a fine thread that will capture all the tiny details of this crochet snowflake design.
Pair it with a crochet hook size 1.65 – 1.75 mm to get the best result. It will take just 50 – 100 yards of thread for one snowflake, so you can make as many spooky ornaments as you want.
How to Crochet a Skull-Inspired Snowflake
This Christmas snowflake pattern is perfect for intermediate crocheters. The stitches used in this pattern include single crochet, double crochet, and triple crochet. They form delicate, skeletal details that show the dainty features shared by both a classic snowflake and a skull.
The snowflake is crocheted in rounds so that it gradually builds up that ethereal, lacy, and unique appearance.
Adding Your Snowflake to Seasonal Decor
Once you finish crocheting your Skull Snowflakes, the next fun part is figuring out where and how you want to use them!
They can be used as spooky-cute Christmas tree ornaments, especially if you are going for a goth-themed aesthetic. They might also be displayed in windows, strung across a mantelpiece, or combined with other holiday decorations.
Whether you choose to keep the decor subtle or run all the way into the gothic theme, these Crochet Skull Snowflakes will be sure to make a striking addition to your seasonal decorations.
