Step 1: Starting the skull

Before we begin, let's gather all the materials needed for this project. You'll need a three-millimeter hook, yarn, and a slip knot to get started.

To create the skull, we will begin by chaining 14 and then slip stitching to create a loop. This forms the foundation of our skull. If you want to add more dimension to your skull, you can increase the number of single crochets in the eye sockets. Adding around 15 to 17 stitches should be enough.

Next, we will chain 14 again and slip stitch into the same first stitch used to start this row. Then, chain one and proceed to add 14 stitches into each socket.

Step 2: Adding dimensions

Now, let's add some dimension to our skull by creating the jawline. Start by chaining two and doing half double crochets, starting from the same stitch where you made the chain. Add five half double crochets into the next five stitches. When you reach the sixth stitch, insert two half double crochets. This will create a slightly wider jawline.

Moving on to the eye sockets, chain three and insert five double crochets into the next stitches. Then, chain three and connect it to the eye socket. Continue with five single crochets into the next five stitches and insert two half double crochets in the sixth stitch. Mirror this pattern for the other eye socket.

Step 3: Adding body to the skull

To give our skull more body, we'll move on to the next row. Insert a half double crochet into the same stitch where you started from and then add seven half double crochets in each stitch. When you reach the eighth stitch, insert two half double crochets, and in the ninth stitch, insert two more. After that, add four single crochets and slip stitch in the next three chain spaces to reach the top of the jawline.

Chain three and repeat the pattern of six double crochets until you reach the end of the jawline. Slip stitch in the next four stitches to complete the row.
