In your email, be sure to state that I have your permission to use it here on my site, otherwise I can't and won't post it. If you have made a project with my skull chart, please e-mail me a link to the blog page where you are showcasing it, or send a digital photo of the best possible quality and I will add it here. Then it's a simple matter to work the chart up into an afghan! Just crochet 4 stitches for each square and change colors as dictated by the chart and your gauge. So swatch to confirm that 4 double (or treble) crochet stitches makes a square slightly wider than tall. Notice that the first white square on chart (chin) and on afghan, there are 4 double crochet stitches making that single square. Look closely at this photo and compare it to the chart. To make your own, use the skull chart as the pattern and add some extra black squares around the edges so that the skull does not fill the whole afghan space.
Lisa crocheted this sweet afghan (left) with mega skull. Her duplicate technique is absolutely flawless. Without its lower teeth, her skull smiles.Īnna used the Bad Penny as her canvas and added the skull in later using duplicate stitch. Ragnar put the skull on the back of a sweater in bright colors. Isn't her husband a badass? (scroll down after clicking link). In fact, you could buy any sweater and punk it up with the skull. The upside of dupe stitch is that you can still knit your sweater in the round and add the chart as an afterthought.
Then came Gidget, who interpreted it in texture rather than color.Īngela chose duplicate stitch to render the skull (a technique you'll see used on another cool chart in my book). Mary tells me she didn't work the chart stitch for stitch, but that makes it no less fabulous! Husband Bill was a willing model for this photo shoot. Here's a subtle execution of the skull in texture rather than color.įor those looking for a lighter way to make their mark - classy and very wearable.
