Crochet Skull Pattern

Materials Needed:

3 mm crochet hook
Yarn of your choice

Pattern:

Start with a Magic Circle:

Make a magic circle.
Chain 1.

Round 1:

Place six single crochets into the magic circle.
Join with a slip stitch to the first single crochet (not the chain one). This should form the center of the skull.

Round 2:

Chain 10.
Make a triple crochet into the magic circle. Yarn over twice, insert the hook, yarn over, pull through two loops on the hook, yarn over, pull through two more loops, then yarn over and pull through last two loops.
Complete a total of 8 triple crochets into the ring.

For Round 3:

Chain 7.
Place one double crochet into the ring.
Chain 3 and slip stitch into the third chain from the hook.

Round 4:

Chain 1.
Double crochet 2 times in the top of each of the 7 triple crochets from the previous round, resulting in 14 double crochets.
Continue until you have a total of 16 double crochets (correction from initial count).

Edging:

Place eight single crochets along the chain.
Chain 3.
Add a double crochet and then another chain 3.
Slip stitch and finish with a chain 1.

Final Touch:

Optionally, if desired for a keychain or ornament, create a loop by chaining to the desired length and then fasten off. Attach where needed by slip stitching back into the specified loop or stitch.
