We’ve still got some time to make some Halloween Treats! Check out this step-by-step tutorial to make these Skull Embellishments, a great addition to your halloween decor.

What you need:

This pattern is flexible and can be made with any type of yarn and the matching hook size on the yarn packaging.

Materials:

· Any skull colour you like. White is “traditional” but i mixed it up with pink and other awesome colours.

I like Red Heart Super Saver Yarn for projects like these because they’re a great price, durable and come in LOADS of colors.
