I am obsessed with horror movies and crocheting. So, how does one meld those two interests together? By crocheting razor blades my dear viewers!

This is the sixth release in a series of patterns I am calling Dangerous Implements. The pattern utilizes size 10 crochet thread and a 1.5 mm hook. Your final blade should be about 7” long once blocked. A little less if you forgo blocking. As with all of my thread based patterns, sizing up is not a problem. Just use heavier weight yarn and a corresponding hook that will give you a fairly tight fabric. Your already oversized blade will be gigantic, but hey, I’m not going to judge you for wanting to crochet a larger than life razor blade!

Directions use US crochet terminology and abbreviations and are appropriate for an experienced beginner and beyond. I will tell you that my patterns are written in a very traditional style. Meaning, if you can read a crochet pattern from the 1950’s or 1960’s, then you should have no problem reading in my patterns.

Show your love for horror movies, decorate your Halloween tree with razor blade ornaments or hey, just let everyone know you are crazy about shaving! Whatever your motivation, CROCHET A RAZOR BLADE today!
