Skull Design: 5. For the skull design, you’ll need to follow a separate chart or written instructions to crochet a stylized skull motif at the center of the granny square. You can use black or other contrasting yarn color to create the skull shape. You’ll typically work single crochets and slip stitches to create the skull’s eyes, nose, and mouth.

Finishing: 6. After completing the skull design, weave in any loose ends and block the square if desired. Your Skull Granny Crochet Square is now ready to be incorporated into your project!

Remember, creating a skull design might involve some intermediate crochet skills. If you’re not familiar with working complex designs, it might be helpful to find a specific skull chart or pattern to follow. Also, feel free to get creative with your color choices to achieve the desired look. Happy crocheting!
