About the pattern

Dance along with these fun skeletons in this spooky scary scarf! It’s the perfect accessory for celebrating the spooky season!

Double knit, the scarf is fully reversible, with opposite colors on the reverse side. Use color changing yarn for interesting color combinations (gradual color changes work best) or solid colored yarn for a more classic look. Try a glow-in-the-dark yarn for an extra spooky effect!

The finished size is approximately 70 inches (178 cm) in length and 5.5 inches (14 cm) in width. The length is customizable. The color work for the design is chart only, not written instructions.
