Mister D. Ceased is here to haunt your house!
But only on Halloween though; all other days of the year he’ll be quiet and leave you alone.
 
This PDF crochet pattern (US terms) will guide you to crochet a creepy amigurumi skull as shown in pictures, made using soft acrylic 8 ply / DK yarn and crochet hook D (3 mm).
Finished size will be approx. 7” x 5.5” x 5.5” (18 x 14 x 14 cm) h x w x d.
The skulls’ deep eye sockets and the upper jaw are joined together with the skull while crocheting. There is chenille wire inside the jaw, to give it shape and sturdiness.
This pattern is also suitable for wool or cotton yarn. If you wish to make a smaller or larger version of this skull, you can just use thinner or thicker yarn and a matching size crochet hook.
Stylecraft Special DK was used to create the skull in the pictures.
 
Gauge: not important for this pattern, just crochet tight enough so the stuffing will not show through the stitches.
Skill level: intermediate - advanced
 
Materials used:
- Crochet hook size D (3 mm)
