Description:

Hell's Grannies can be intimidating as well as sweet! Try knitting a skull scarf in public with those pointy needles, or crocheting one with that creepy hook. For more effect, go for a black or red yarn. Or perhaps a cheerful rainbow of yarns, classic white, or a daring magenta? It's sender's choice as to color choice and pattern, so go out there and scare the unsuspecting public!

The motherlode of skull scarf patterns can be found here -- try the Yorrick scarf if you are a knitter not into stranded colorwork but crocheters and Fair Isle knitters have a variety of choices

Colorwork in the round

Filet crochet

Matching skull earrings and a lucha libre mask for crocheters, among other things ...

Fun with knitted skulls including some dishcloth patterns that if repeated could become scarves, a tea cozy, ahats, and a bottle cover for your moonshine, a bag for your dice and even skeleton socks ...

Repeating skull stitch in crochet

Triangular shawl skull scarf -- fairly easy looking knitted lace?

Let me know if you find more skull patterns!

One skull scarf in any color using any pattern for one partner is the swap. Please have great ratings, communicate, send on time, and have fun!
