Realistic skull mask made out of crochet. Pattern has photos, and there is a video tutorial.
I’ve made several sizes using different sized hooks, and yarns. The smallest size (which came to about 20 inches around,) was made using a “B” hook and worsted weight yarn.
The 2 middle size (which came to about 21 and 22 inches) were made using a “B” and “D” hook and Aran weight yarn.
The largest size (which came to about 23 inches) was made using an “E” hook and Aran weight yarn.
I used 2 different colors of Aran or worsted weight yarns (black and white). I only used about half a skein of white yarn, and used some scraps of black yarn, because it didn’t require much black. I used between 100 and 160 yards of wht (depending on the size) and between 20 and 40 yards of black.The Aran brand I used was Red Heart brand, and the worsted weight I used was Caron Simply Soft, because I had it on hand, but if you prefer a different brand you could use any.
The last part of the pattern is a bit complex (the skull’s face), and some of the techniques I used can be seen in a tutorial I made last year for a skull mask. I’ve changed the pattern a bit since then, so the tutorial isn’t exactly the same as the pattern, but a lot of the techniques I use are the same. So if you’re interested, you can find that tutorial here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VDa86bkwsec
I’ll update the link when I make an updated video tutorial for the new version of the pattern. Thanks everyone!
