While browsing the interwebs for tatting patterns, what should I find but Tatted Skulls! TAT’S AMORÉ has a free pattern for a skull bracelet (anklet or choker) and a set of earrings.
I decided to try out the earrings. I’m stoked that it’s now October; these are perfect for Halloween (or anytime wear if you’re like me).
No trouble converting this to needle tatting but I did tweak the pattern a little. I don’t know if it’s my own tension, size thread/needle, etc but the eyes seemed really small to me and the skull a little too large. My first one looked a bit more alien then human. So the eyes were increased by 1 ds on each side (8/6) and the skull decreased by 2 on each half (17 + 17).
I did start to play around with the pattern and came up with an alternate version I’ll share soon.
Önskar att jag kunde lägga till info och föra in lite mer i tabellen
