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:
- Finish the Last Stitch with the Old Color:
- Work until there are two loops on the hook with the old color.
- Yarn Over with the New Color:
- Before completing the last stitch with the old color, yarn over with the new color.
- Pull Through Loops:
- Finish the last stitch by pulling through the last two loops with the new color.
- 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.
