Bring dark patchwork to your Halloween stitching with this skull built from interlocking jigsaw pieces. The shape is instantly striking: deep eye sockets, a narrow nose cavity and those long, barred teeth give it a hard-edged look, while the cream, black, red, green, blue and tan sections keep the surface lively. It suits anyone after a less cute, more graphic Halloween design, especially on casual wear and accessories.
Because it is worked as appliqué, it has that bold cut-and-sewn look that stands out well on hoodies, denim jackets, black sweatshirts and canvas tote bags. The moderately dense finish gives the details enough weight to read clearly without losing the separate puzzle-piece effect. With 12 size options from 3 inch to 10 inch and 6 thread colours, it works equally well as a small chest motif or a large back piece where the skull shape can really dominate.
