Get into the spooky spirit with this fun and easy-to-follow crochet skull pillow pattern! Perfect for adding a touch of Halloween charm to your home decor, this pattern is suitable for both beginners and experienced crocheters. Create a unique and festive pillow that will impress your guests and make your Halloween celebrations extra special.

Pattern Notes:
• This pattern uses the Intarsia Crochet technique that involves using multiple colors in a single row or round of crochet to create a specific design or pattern.
• The pattern is written out by row but you can also follow the graph for the color work.
• Each square represents an individual single crochet stitch, at the end of each row, CH 1 and turn.
• Beginning Ch-1s do not count as a stitch throughout the entire pattern.
• Once the back and front panels are complete, we will edge the work with sc to ensure a clean seam when joining the seams together. You can increase the size of the work by increasing the edging. If you are working this up as a pillow cover you many need an additional round or 2 of edging to fit over your existing pillow (you may not need to do this if using a pillow form).

Skill Level:
Intermediate: For crocheters with some experience. More intricate stitches, shaping & finishing.

Measurements:
The pattern is written for an 18x20in pillow and can easily be increased to a larger square as detailed within the pattern.
