Skull socks are my original creation, and I made them for myself initially. How ever, the interest towards the pattern is very much driving me to bring it to ravelry. This is my first written pattern, and I hope I can make it as clear as possible to recreate.

The yarn colors can be different from my choises, but the main color is solid Black, for contrast reasons. The skull color can be what you prefer, I went with a slightly ombre Pink. Also, a third complimentary color for few smaller sections is a nice addition, I chose hot pink for that.
In total I used about 2 bundles of the Black yarn (Novita 7 brothers) and about a half of the skull color bundle. Complementary color yarn was just a few meters.

Do note that you also need to do a few stitches, to make the teeth part. This is easily done with the same Black yarn used as the main color. The nice effect of having the teeth done is not mandatory, but definately worth the effort. Also worth mentioning is the fact that I have some Meat on my calves, so if you are a very slim person, you might need to adjust the yarn thickness and needles to make a perfect fit for you
