This is a beginner-intermediate level pattern. The skull measures at about 8.5" tall by 5" wide and a head circumference of 15". It is made with two strands of white yarn weight 4 (worsted), an H hook (5mm), and polyfil. Included in the pattern is the skull itself as well as the roses used in the display picture. There is one helpful video linked when completing the FPDcDec. Happy Hooking my hookers!

Pattern Notes: Please read me!!!
*Do Not count beginning chains unless instructed.
*When working in rows: The 1st stitch of the row is worked in the last st of previous row (the st the ch emerges from) unless instructed not to.
*When working in rnds: The 1st stitch is worked in the same st the ch emerges from unless instructed not to.
*When you see anything between (____) #x, repeat that sequence the number of times specified.
When you see anything between * ___ *, it is worked within the same stitch.

*How to read the numbers:
3Sc -> number in FRONT = that many in the SAME st (3 single crochets in the same st)
            Sc 3 -> number AFTER = 3 separate stitches Sc, in the next st Sc, in the next st Sc

*How to read decreases:
            Dec = invisible decrease
            __2tog: bring 2 stitches together

*Total number of stitches at the end in ( )
*Use st marker to help with counting rounds when necessary.
*Everyone crochets differently. This pattern is how I complete the product. You may have different methods. You may have a different tension on the stitches, which will impact how the product looks when complete. This is absolutely NORMAL. If you want to make a few changes here and there so that the product looks differently, I'm okay with this. I would love to see what changes you've made so please be sure to show me what you've done! I would love to see how you make one of my patterns uniquely your own.
