Create the spooky and kick-a$$ Badlands Sleeves for yourself with this 38 Page pattern! This is an intermediate level pattern requiring prior knowledge of basic tapestry/colourwork crochet techniques which are not explained in significant detail in the pattern. Please read more below under ‘Experience Level’.

The Badlands Sleeves feature a striking skull face covering which folds down into a turtleneck-style collar and bone sleeves… with thumb holes! An oversized distressed hood which folds down to stretch around the shoulders like a cowl/wrap and contrast colour accents pack the final punch!
