I found this skull motif on Ravelry a while back, made by over 200 people! I've never done an applique-type project like this before so I was up for the challenge. Temperatures have finally and hopefully permanently dropped below 95 degrees so that means time to start thinking of Fall things.
Along with warm temperatures, it wouldn't be Halloween in southern California without Dia de Los Muertos!
Day of the Dead = calaveras, bright colors, and pan.
And since I can't include bread, I stuck to the first two and imagined up this Kwid creation.
I can't believe that Halloween is THIS WEEK. I figured I better start working on at least one project for the holiday. It took me a few days to work out the skull pattern. I did some tweaking until it worked for me. Again, check out the pattern here, I love the versatility!
It was so much fun making this scarf, choosing the colors and making accents like the moustache and rose.

I decided to join the scarf head to head in the back so that when it lies around your neck, the skulls are right-side up.
The attention to detail really sets this scarf apart from any other scarf. It is such a fun and unique piece. I can't wait for it to find a new home for the holidays. Get it now in my Etsy shop!
