Crochet pattern for a skull blanket / throw.

Aren’t these colorful, smiling skulls adorable? I designed this crocheted skull blanket with my (then!) four year old son in mind. I wanted him to have a warm and playful blanket for his wagon rides on the busy sidewalks of Toronto.

The finished skull blanket measures approx. 40” wide and 51” long.

As a crocheter, you were likely drawn to this blanket because of the clarity of the skulls, the use of multiple colors, and the interesting reversible imaging. You recognize that these effects are not easy to achieve in crochet -- especially all together in one project -- but this skull blanket is actually quite easy to make. It utilizes a very simple technique I developed. This technique eliminates multiple ends (that need to be sewn in) and carrying multiple strands of yarn. It also gives you clearer images that are identical (in opposing colors) on both sides of your work! I hope you will give it a try. I really had so much fun designing and crocheting this blanket.

This crochet skull blanket pattern is suitable for an intermediate crocheter. It has been tested for clarity and accuracy by a professional crochet designer. I am confident it will make for a happy crochet experience.

I am available to answer questions, should you have any.

Thanks for stopping by.
