Crafty Diversions: Arrrgyle Skullcap

Arrrgyle Skullcap

by Anne Kuo Lukito

Arrr! Two of my sister’s favorite design motifs are skulls and argyle. So, when I was trying to think of something to make for her, it was only natural that I’d come with with combination of the two.

Bring out your inner rebel pirate with this design, which is achieved via stranded colorwork and carrying the colors along the back.
