Product Description
Raven Skull Hourglass C2C Crochet Mosaic Pattern
Create a dramatic gothic statement piece with the Raven Skull Hourglass C2C Crochet Mosaic Pattern.
This striking two-color design features an ornate hourglass framed by architectural details, with two ravens perched across the top. A skull-inspired motif appears within the upper section of the hourglass, while bold botanical leaf shapes fill the lower portion.
The black-and-white composition gives the design a strong vintage gothic character, combining ravens, skull symbolism, an hourglass and botanical elements into one distinctive C2C graphgan.
The original pattern uses only White + Black, creating a bold high-contrast finish that works especially well for gothic bedrooms, dark academia interiors, Halloween-inspired decor and alternative home styling.

INCLUDED C2C CROCHET GUIDE
The included English reference guide explains the diagonal box crochet method using US crochet terms.
It covers:
• Making the first C2C block
• Increasing
• Joining neighboring blocks
• Working toward the longest diagonal
• Decreasing
• Reading pixel charts
• Color changes
• Common troubleshooting
The first block begins with ch 6, with the first three chains acting as the turning chain and the remaining chains worked with double crochet to form the block. diagonal_box_crochet_pixel_patt…
After reaching the widest diagonal, decreasing is worked by turning and slip-stitching inward instead of adding another outside block. diagonal_box_crochet_pixel_patt…
TWO-COLOR WHITE & BLACK DESIGN
The original pattern uses:
White + Black
This high-contrast palette works especially well with the gothic composition.
Black defines the ravens, skull motif, hourglass frame, botanical leaves and architectural details against the lighter White background.
Because the design uses only two colors, you can also substitute your own preferred combination while following the same chart.
Possible alternatives include:
Cream + Black
Ivory + Charcoal
Beige + Burgundy
White + Deep Plum
Cream + Forest Green
Ivory + Dark Brown
The supplied PDF files themselves use White and Black.
DESIGN FEATURES
The complete composition includes:
Two ravens • Ornate hourglass • Skull motif • Botanical leaves • Decorative columns • Gothic frame • Geometric details • Dark symbolic composition
The Printable Chart Pack cover places the two ravens symmetrically across the top of the hourglass, with the skull-inspired motif in the upper chamber and large stylized leaves in the lower chamber. Raven_Skull_Hourglass_Exact_C2C…
This symmetrical layout gives the finished piece a strong decorative impact while keeping the entire project limited to two yarn colors.
