Perfect for Halloween decorations, themed parties, or as a quirky addition to your home decor, this pattern guides you through creating a distinctive cat skull.

Halloween Cat Skull Crochet Pillow Pattern  – Easy DIY Decor Idea Pattern Notes:

• This pattern uses the Intarsia Crochet technique that involves using multiple colors in a single row or round of crochet to create a specific design or pattern. 
• The pattern is written out by row but you can also follow the graph for the color work. 
• Each square represents an individual single crochet stitch, at the end of each row, CH 1 and turn.
• Beginning Ch-1s do not count as a stitch throughout the entire pattern.
• Once the back and front panels are complete, we will edge the work with sc to ensure a clean seam when joining the seams together. You can increase the size of the work by increasing the edging. If you are working this up as a pillow cover you many need an additional round or 2 of edging to fit over your existing pillow (you may not need to do this if using a pillow form).

Tips on Changing Colors:

1. Finish the Last Stitch with the Old Color:
   • Work until there are two loops on the hook with the old color.
2. Yarn Over with the New Color:
   • Before completing the last stitch with the old color, yarn over with the new color.
3. Pull Through Loops:
   • Finish the last stitch by pulling through the last two loops with the new color.
4. Secure the Old Color:
   • Once you’ve changed colors, secure the yarn of the old color by either crocheting over the tail or by weaving it in later.

Intermediate: For crocheters with some experience. More intricate stitches, shaping & finishing.
