Craft Thursdays: Skeleton Scarf

Kerry is here today to show us how to do a Skeleton Scarf that was knitted and created by her mom. 

Here at Mystery Playground, we like our skeleton accessories year-round. So I thought I'd share a skeleton scarf that was created by my mom. This craft is for knitters only. Although it's fairly easy if you can knit. 

Materials:
2 colors of acrylic yarn
Size 10 needles

Skeleton Pattern:
