With this Solid Skull Scarf crochet clothing accessory designed by Amanda Hyde, you will look stylish throughout the entire Halloween season. The gorgeous ombre effect, which combines shades of red and black, makes it look spooky and chic. The skull-themed lace texture results in a delicate and lightweight crochet scarf you can use as a part of your Halloween costume or just add to your everyday wardrobe.
Why This Crochet Skull Scarf Pattern Stands Out
The skull motifs have already been used in numerous crochet wraps and shawls, but this scarf is super special. While most of these patterns focus on lacework, this project combines dense textures with lace stitches to create an exquisite design. The ombre colorway gives it an even more spooky look. This piece will make a real treat for anyone who is into emo or goth vibes.
What You’ll Need – Yarn and Hook
Fingering yarn offers the best results for this crochet skull scarf. The original design was made with Katia Darling cake yarn, but it’s no longer available to purchase. You can substitute it with Scheepjes Whirl or YarnArt Flowers, which are cotton-acrylic blends with gorgeous gradient colorways.
Prepare also a 2.75 mm crochet hook or any hook that will help you meet the gauge.
How the Skull Scarf Pattern Is Constructed
The Solid Skull Scarf crochet pattern is very easy to complete. All you need to know is how to do chains, single crochets, and double crochets. You work it by crocheting two identical halves with bold lace skull motifs to connect them at the top with loose slip stitches.
To increase the length of your shawl, you need to make additional skull sections. So simple, isn’t it?
