Skully Granny

Description

If you fell in love with my Skully Coasters, you are going to be absolutely thrilled to see how we take that exact same magical motif and turn it into a classic crochet staple with the Skully Granny pattern! Watching a delicate little skull emerge from a simple magic circle and then beautifully square off into a neat, clean block is a total joy. Don’t worry if you’ve never tried a shape-shifting pattern before, if you can master the basic stitches like single, half double, and double crochet, you will catch on in no time. It is a wonderfully satisfying project that lets you practice balancing different stitch heights to create a perfectly flat, beautiful square.

The creative possibilities for these blocks are truly endless! You can stitch a whole bunch of them together to create a stunning, statement-making throw blanket, piece them into a trendy tote bag, or use a single square as a striking pocket accent on a cozy cardigan. They are the ultimate stash-buster for your favorite cotton yarns, making them an incredibly fun way to bring a little bit of handmade magic to your home decor or gifts for your loved ones.

Part of the absolute joy of a granny square project is playing matchmaker with your colors! They look wonderfully bold and festive with a vibrant pink or black skull popping against a contrasting border, but they look just as elegant and timeless in soft greys, charcoal, and cream.
