Add gothic polish to your stitching with this elegant skull in a beret, worked in stark black, white and red. The design focuses on the hollow eye sockets, neat row of teeth and defined facial bone lines, giving it a clean, fashion-led Halloween feel rather than a messy horror look. It suits anyone drawn to dark feminine styling, gothic accessories or statement seasonal pieces with a slightly Parisian edge.
Because it is an open, lightly stitched design with just three thread colours, it keeps a crisp look without feeling heavy on the fabric. It would sit especially well on a black sweatshirt, a denim jacket, a canvas tote or the back of a cotton shirt where the skull and beret can read clearly from a distance. The larger size range also gives you room to use it as a small chest motif or a bolder centrepiece, depending on how dramatic you want the finished piece to feel.
