Notes

Similar to https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/candy-skull-a-cowl but using Anthology as a base and the skull pattern from https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/candy-skull-a-hat

Skull pattern is 12 sts wide
Anthology cowl says CO 144 sts for sock, but that’s less than the hat so seems too small since I’m using fingering weight.

Try CO 192 for 16 skulls around.
CO black
switch to green for 1x1 twisted rib, 11 rows
start pattern, 3-5 repeats?

Amount of yarn before 2nd row of skulls:
black: 70g
green: 54g
After
Black: 60g
Green: 41g
So 10g background 13g foreground

Finished with 4 rows of skulls because it seemed tall enough and I was running out of time.

Has a lot of tension issues but the recipient seems to like it and that’s the most important part.
