The oversized skull gives him so much character he is spooky and adorable at once
The visible rib cage sets this apart from every simple robe style reaper I have seen
The curved scythe is dramatic and mine holds its shape beautifully with the wire option
The tattered charcoal cloak drapes perfectly the ragged edge is my favourite detail
He sits on my bookshelf edge with his little legs dangling and it makes everyone smile
The thin articulated arms and legs give him such an expressive skeletal silhouette
The embroidered mouth and teeth took patience but the grin is worth every stitch
The large dark eye sockets against the bone coloured skull look wonderfully eerie
The oversized rounded feet peeking from under the cloak are unexpectedly charming
The pelvis detail is such a clever touch it makes the whole skeleton feel complete
I crocheted from the German version and every round was clear and precise
Having the pattern in French made this my most relaxing spooky project yet
Mine came out about 23 cm seated and the size is perfect for a mantel display
Validated stitch counts and clear diagrams meant I never had to guess once
The balance guidance really works he sits upright without any leaning or support
He presides over my gothic bookcase all autumn and fits the aesthetic perfectly
Made one as a gift for my skeleton collecting friend and she was completely delighted
Sold a few finished Grims at my autumn craft market and they went before lunch
Already crocheting a second Bitty Grim for my sister this unusual pattern is a keeper
