- You can use any thread or yarn- I used Tahki Cotton Classic for the DK weight and Catania SMC for the fingering weight examples. I used Sugar N’ Cream cotton yarn for the worsted weight example. You can also use size 3 crochet thread. Also needed are size 2.75mm crochet hook for the DK weight, fingering weight, or size 3 crochet thread and size 3.25mm crochet hook for the worsted weight yarn. You'll need 26 size 6/0 seed beads if you are using a lighter yarn or thread and want to add some beads to your sugar skull as well as tapestry needle,craft glue and scissors.

-Completed skull size will depend on the type of yarn or thread used. The DK weight, fingering weight and size 3 crochet thread skulls are about 1 1/2 to 1 3/4 inches in diameter and the worsted weight skulls measure about 2 inches in diameter.
