I love this and am soooo going to have to give it a try. I already have colors in mind and have been wracking my brain for an afghan for my 16 year old daughter and right now skulls are her thing....perfect:)

This is so neat! I would never think to have a granny square with a skull in it!

[Katy_Ravensong]

Thank you! You are SO talented!

For some reason I sometimes don't see things like others do, I see a white West Highland Terrier's cute little face.

[LadyK]

Has anyone turned this into a more solid granny square?

[Peggy85225]

Interesting square.

[PetraDae]

Top job!

[JustAddGlitter]

Awesome square, I have a friend who would freak over this!

[Lilyrosa]

Hi champygirl - your skull granny square is brilliant. I've made one square using Stylecraft special dk and a 4mm hook. It was calling out to be made and it measured 5" by 5". I'm going to be using this pattern when Halloween comes around. Even the skull could be used on its own as a motif. Thanks cg.

[samabolize]

That's great! It would really go well in a Halloween themed afghan. :-)

[tcufrogrn]

Wow this is an awesome pattern! Thanks for sharing.

[PWhitlee]

This is great! I love that you made the typical hole of the granny square represent something in this case; that's creative as all get out.

 

Now if I can only think of something to do with it, given that my fiance is almost constantly hot and doesn't like to "wear" yarn because of that. I made him a blanket a few years back and it had to be treble crochet so it would "breathe" for him.

 

The only mistake I made was to make it with Red Heart so it itches him. I knew so little of yarn differences then.

[Beverooni]

I wish you'd put all your patterns in an ebook. I'd gladly pay for it to have all of them together in one spot.

 

You're pretty doggone amazing!

[boogiedu]

my granddaughter is "into" skulls so this would

make an ideal afghan with different colored blocks.

thanks a lot!

[jenthehoover]

i'm hoping to make one of these for my friend just to see her smile

she loves skulls thanks for sharing
