Halloween Project: Skelly Necklace

Clover VH_BLOG_BANNER

Today’s the first day of Fall which means it’s officially time for some creepy crafting! Even though I’ve been making Halloween projects for the past month already, I’m celebrating the “official” season by kicking Hallow’s Eve prep off with a skull-turning necklace crocheted using chunky, black & white jersey yarn and a Jumbo Amour hook. Speaking of, this project will surely get your kids hooked on crochet. Created using only the chain stitch it’s a great, first project that your baby boos can make with friends. Looking for a treat for teacher? This necklace will do the trick! So chain on and have some fun using your crochet skills for stitching Skelly. Enjoy!
