Dia de la Abby: #2 - Filet Crochet Skull

One of my favorite crafts to do while doing other things is crocheting, so I've made a crocheted skull. This one is oddly inspired by my late paternal grandmother who used to crochet fine cloth using the same technique, but with sewing thread. Because of her, filet crochet was the 1st technique that I did for a large project.

I made this using a crochet technique called "filet crochet" that is a series of open and closed squares to create an image. I used a crochet thread and a very tiny hook to make this, so it is very light weight and delicate. If you would like to know how to make this project, just follow the tutorial. I have made a filet crochet skull scarf, that I wear every winter. You can see a picture of it in my old Ides of Skull Fanatic post. You can also take a peek at some other old skull art that I made.

Every week in the 4.0 year, I will be post my own Dia de la Abby posts as well as a tutorial with instructions on how I made my piece. Hopefully you feel inspired by my posts just as I was by Noah's Skull-A-Day 1.0 daily project.
