Fall Calls For a (Skull) Shawl

by | Sep 4, 2014 | Crafts, Freebies & Giveaways | 17 comments

It’s no secret that I love crochet. I’ll try my hand at almost anything, but my two favorite things are amigurumi and shawls. Recently, I made a skull shawl for a friend and decided I wanted one myself. But once I’d made it, I realized the colors I’d selected didn’t work for my skin tone, so now I am offering it up as a giveaway!

This is the perfect “back to school” item for the kid (or adult) that likes to be a little bit on the offbeat side. The colors are perfect for fall.

Skull Shawl

The colors in this image are true to life.

The shawl is a medium size, as you can see from the picture below.

Bad picture, but shows the size

To enter to win, simply comment on this post and be sure to leave me some way to contact you in case you win! I will draw a winner the morning of September 12, 2104.

Good luck!

    This is beautiful! I have the perfect deep red pleated skirt with polka dots to wear it with, and a cardigan with pleating like a raven’s wing. In short, with this shawl I could outfit myself like Hell’s Librarian.

    I’m in.

    This is so pretty Laura. It’s cool because you don’t automatically see the skulls. You have to look for a second and then there they are.

    That is sooooo fancy and gorgeous! But don’t put me in the drawing. I don’t wear shawls. Or any extra layers whatsoever these days. Now, if you happened to scale down the pattern and make earrings… heheheh Earrings don’t give me hot flashes.
