Need an accessory or costume for Halloween in a hurry? This gory choker works up quickly.

This is more a set of notes on how you can make your own
cutthroat choker than a complete pattern, so you need
some confidence interpreting instructions. But the process is pretty simple. You can use any weight of thread or fine mercerized cotton yarn; I’ve used size #10 thread up to sport weight.

If you have trouble getting the choker to lie flat even after blocking, try ironing it.
