I'm following your pattern to make my kid sister a pencil bag that will irritate all the teachers at her Christian high-school. 😁 They've complained so many times about her morbid humor and her "Goth obsession," so I'm helping.

My grandma crocheted her whole life, I didn't get to learn from her so I'm thankful for your beautifully clear and concise tutorials! I think this is going to be my first project

[@Totally_Stitchcraft]

What a wonderful first project to pick! :)

[@elenatodaro7908]

This was my first project and I can't believe I actually finished it even if looks a bit wonky and all (tensions issues) but I'm so grateful that I started my crochet journey with your video, you explained everything clearly!

[@Totally_Stitchcraft]

I’m so glad to have you here learning and loving the process! Keep up the good work and stay creative 🤎🥰

[@amybushell5423]

out of all the tutorials I've seen for this skull pattern, this is BY FAR the easiest one to follow!! I decided I wanted to use some skull granny squares for my Halloween costume this year and knew this tutorial would be perfect! Thank you so much for making it easier to understand and follow along!

[@chezLynn]

I've tried 3 or 4 such patterns on KZbin but, of them, yours is, by far, the clearest tutorial, and leads to the best results. Thank you ever so much! Just wish you and the net had been around in the 70's, when I was struggling to learn to crochet : )

[@peachiegrinsxd]

Wow I really liked how you walked through every stitch but it was paced just right. I’m so glad I found your channel!

[@rottie7883]

I've been crocheting for a few years now and sometimes struggle trying to understand videos (austistic) but your video was so easy to understand! I made my first square and plan on making many more for a Halloween themed blanket 😁 Thank you so much for this tutorial! 💙🖤 (I used orange for the skull and a teal blue for the square)

[@tiffanyguerrera1220]

Thank you so much for this tutorial! I didn't like any of the other skull crochet tutorials that I found and I absolutely love yours! Just went and bought some yarn I can't wait to try this pattern.

[@Totally_Stitchcraft]

You are so welcome! I like this one too because it ends up as a true square and not some oblong rectangle lol

[@koboldcricket]

omg I thought this would be too complex for me since I’m a beginner, but this tutorial is so clear and simple that I have a lot of hope for this project!! I can’t wait to get yarn for it, thank you so much for the wonderful video

I too would like to make a blanket with this pattern, how did it turn out/how long did it take for you?

[@chelseyfyfe1358]

@@artemis3536yeah it turned out fine I did 20 squares of the skull and did a checkered pattern to make up the rest. I did 100 squares in total and took me about a month and a bit to make. Turned out great it sits in the back of my couch 😂

This is perfect and he is very excited for me to complete the project - the rate I'm going it will be ready for next Christmas! Instructions very easy to follow and thank you again 😊

[@editrin7005]

I got intriguedd by a tiktok I saw with this pattern. I haven't crocheted since elementary school, but I think I might try it again. I absolutely love that this is a comprehensive tutorial. Even though I do not really remember how to crochet, I think you did a banging job with this video and I can't wait to try this pattern out

I'm sooo excited to see this 😍.. I'm making a blanket for my 32 yr old son & I'm gonna use bright green for the skull, purple around the skull & black for a border😁😍👍❤❣

YAY! 😁 I just finished my 1st square. It is so cool because I used Lion Brand DIY Glow Yarn in White (it glows green in the dark) for the skull, black for the square, and a single crochet border using the DIY Glow. It's really pretty awesome, thank you!!!❤️❤️❤️ PS - thank you also for the written instructions. I usually write them down in a journal so you saved me a bunch of time. Have a wonderful day! 🌞

Well, it seems I'm in the right place - a gazillion projects on the go and being tempted by another. Consider my dues paid in full!! LOL How kind of Chibilover to put the instructions to paper. How many times I've been tempted to do this elsewhere but wasn't sure if the 'owner' would be offended. Also love the addition of timestamps - what a huge difference that makes to any project. I have so many skull samples piling up but this one seems to have taken simplicity to the next level without losing quality. Off we go.........
