Big Brother Grim Reaper looks out for his Tiny Grim Reaper brother! He’s approximately 2” taller than his brother and a little beefier (well fed if you will). Mine turned out about 7” tall. There is no gauge necessary. If you choose to use a different type of yarn you may get a larger or smaller reaper. Just make sure to adjust your hook size with your yarn choice. His scythe is made with a tiny amount of yarn so a scrap piece about 1 yard long should work just fine! Cut your skewer approximately the height of your assembled reaper or even just a smidge taller/shorter whatever you prefer.
