Shrunken Skull

This skull is the perfect decoration for Halloween - either on its own or part of a wreath or garland. It is made from the base of the skull upwards, and knit in one piece. The base of the skull is knit flat as stockinette, then we pick up stitches around the selvedge and cast on edges of the base, and knit in the round on dpns in order to give shape to the main body of the skull. Facial features are then duplicate stitched on, before we start the decrease rounds to shape the crown of the skull. I-cord is optional, for hanging your finished skull up!
