 Welcome my little lovelies! I've got a Halloween present for you! That's right, it's a free pattern for this ghoulishly gorgeous Granny Skull Square! Last year when I posted the pattern and photo tutorial for the skull motif I had no idea how popular it was going to be. Without any question it is by far the most visited post on my blog. Who knew there were so many fans of macabre crochet! I suppose it shouldn't surprise me that much. In stores there are skulls on everything from little girl clothes to shower curtains and kitchen accessories! The feedback for the skull motif has been tremendously positive (thanks so much!). Other than a little confusion about making the eyes (work those stitches around the chain - not into it!) the question that I am most frequently asked is, "do you have a square pattern?" Now I can happily answer Yes - I sure do! If you follow me on Instagram, Facebook or any of those other social media worlds, you know that it took a few tries to create a pattern that was good enough for you guys. I feel pretty confident that this one will do the trick. I wanted to make sure it was a universal size that will work with traditional granny squares. That way you can have more options for mixing and matching your designs. So there you have it! Just click on the button below for a downloadable PDF. The pattern will also be available (for free!) on Ravelry and I'll include a link in my sidebar. If you have any questions or something about the pattern is confusing, please let me know. I did the editing myself and mistakes are certainly possible! I hope that you enjoy the Granny Skull. I'd love to see your finished squares. Please feel free to share them on my Facebook page or tag me on Instagram (I'm RobinBrz). You can also use the hashtags #crochetskull, #crochetnirvana, #robinbrz. Thanks so much for stopping by and spending a bit of your day with me! Be Blessed and Stitch & Read with Love!

and they look *nothing* alike. She is just trying to drive her own sales. I have made the skull by itself as a center to a web blanket. fabulous Robin!

I seriously went and found your square that she supposedly copied. There is absolutely no resemblance what so ever between these skulls other than they are skulls. I was in search of a Granny Square for a project I'm making and I must say the Nasty unnecessary comment you made definitely helped me decide which one to make!!

I've tried to download both PDF's (I'm using the Pinterest app on my Android phone) and neither downloaded. Is there a known problem with the links? I really want to try this, please let me know. Thank you.
rebecca

Lisa, both links work for me on my computer. I know sometimes links get fussy on phones or tablets. Have you tried the ravelry link too? http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/skulls ....I would be happy to email it to you ....

What does it mean to crochet around the chain, not in it? Thanks! 3/6/2017 05:56:52 pm
Don't insert your hook through the chain stitch...crochet around the chain.

Could you please do a video, or explain things in more detail? I'm having trouble just starting it. When you say "work 18 SC around the first loop" how do I evenly distribute those SC?
Megant

After you have the two loops making the figure 8. You do 18 dc around each loop. So you aren't working into the chains, you are working around it.

I was wondering if you used the yarn that was specified or did you use something else? I am wondering about 4ply yarn.

I love this pattern so much and making a blanket with it for quite some time now. But the only problem is I'm having is trying to get the finished square to lay flat after I join them together. Any advice?
