Yorick The Skull Crochet Pattern

“Alas, poor Yorick! I knew him, Horatio, a fellow of infinite jest, of most excellent fancy.” When thinking of skulls, it’s hard not to recall Hamlet’s tale. Slightly smaller than life size, this crocheted Yorick is easier to hold, a lot more snuggly, and much less likely to break if dropped on stage (though it may bounce a little!) Use this crochet pattern to update your spooky décor collection, add to your Halloween display, indulge your need for spooky amigurumi, or build up your prop closet with a handcrafted cranium of your very own!

This pattern is of advanced beginner difficulty and is 27 pages long, including 58 detailed progress photos, 9 finished object photos, and 7 full pages of written instructions. This project requires stuffing, worsted weight yarn in two colors (plus fingering weight in two colors for spiral eyes) and a 4.25mm g crochet hook. Prior knowledge of basic crochet techniques is required to complete this project and familiarity with stuffed animals/amigurumi is recommended; detailed instructions are provided throughout. Instructions for both single color and 2-color spiral eyes are included. Skull measures approximately 6" tall when completed as written.
