Thought I’d have a go at working up a quirky amigurumi for Halloween. Nothing says scary like DK on a 3 mm hook, right? ?
I can’t even call this stash buster, it uses so little yarn. Finished skull measures about 2 inches tall.
- White DK
- Black DK
- 3 mm hook
- tapestry needle
Start with the white leaving a really long tail; this will be used to chain a hanging loop
- 6dc in a magic loop
- 2dc in each stitch (12)
- 2dc in first stitch, 1 dc in next (18)
- 2dc in first stitch, 1 dc in next 2 (24)
- 2dc in first stitch, 1 dc in next 3 (30) – place stitch marker
- dc in every stitch (30)
- dc in every stitch (30)
- dc in every stitch (30)
- dc in every stitch (30)
- dc 3, dc2tog, dc, dc2tog, dc 2, dc2tog, dc, dc2tog, dc 15 (26) – place stitch marker
- dc in every stitch (26)
- dc in every stitch (26)
- dc 3, dc inc, dc, dc inc, dc 2, dc inc, dc, dc inc, dc 15 (30) – place stitch marker
- dc 16, dc2tog x 7 (23)
- dc2tog, dc2tog, dc 4, dc2tog, dc2tog, dc 7 (17)
- (dc2tog, dc) x 5, dc2 tog (12)
- dc2tog x 6
Rows 10 – 14 decreases & increases are the eye sockets dimples. Use the black DK to add eyes there, then a triangular nose and mouth underneath
