Easy Crochet Witch Hat: One of the most iconic symbols of Halloween is the witch hat. With its pointed shape and wide brim, it instantly adds a spooky touch to any costume. If you want to create your own witch hat for Halloween, crocheting one is a simple and fun option. To make an easy crochet witch hat, you'll need some basic crochet skills and a few materials. Start by gathering a crochet hook in the appropriate size for your yarn, a ball of black yarn, a pair of scissors, and a tapestry needle. Begin by creating a slip knot and placing it on your crochet hook.

Since I like to take as much guesswork out of sizing crochet hats as possible, I created this crochet hat size chart and size checker tool to share with you all. For example, my Venus Shell Slouch Hat Crochet Pattern starts with 12 double crochets on round one, then increases to 24 on row 2, 36 on row 3, and so on.
Begin by creating a slip knot and placing it on your crochet hook. Then, chain multiple stitches to create the circumference of the base of the hat. The number of stitches you need will depend on the size of the hat you want to make.
Crochet Witch Hat Pattern
Hello everyone, today I have a crochet witch hat pattern for you! A few years ago I had my oldest daughter dress as a cute little witch for Halloween, but the one essential piece I needed was a witch hat.
I thought, heck, I could make one of those, BUT I could not find a pattern for a toddler that I really liked. So I made my own instead!
This post is all about how to crochet a witch hat with step by step instructions and pictures.
Can you make this hat different sizes?
Yes! The witch hat pattern I have written below fits my 4 year old perfectly and my 2.5 year old (a little big). If you’re needing a smaller or bigger size, you can stop early or add more rows. The formula for making the cone shape is increasing, doing a row of single crochets, doing another row of increases, then another row of single crochets and so on until you reach the desired size.
If you alter the size, keep in mind that you’ll have to adjust the crochet band and possibly the bow. You may need to decrease or add the amount of brim too.
I suggest using a measuring tape to obtain accurate head measurements and then crocheting until you meet those measurements. Here is a head measurement guide that has average head circumferences by age if you need help.
What is the best yarn to use for this pattern?
I use acrylic yarn from Red Heart Super Saver. Acrylic yarn is perfect for keeping the witch hat and brim stiff. I think that if you use a softer yarn, your hat would most likely slouch and be floppier.
Do I have to crochet the band and bow?
Nope! Honestly, it would be easier to buy a ribbon and tie a pretty bow around the hat. If you’re like me, I didn’t have any ribbon, nor did I feel like buying any…so I used orange yarn from my stash instead.
Step one: and in my opinion, the most important step: give them a big ol’ hug. Count yourself lucky to be so close to your loved ones!
Once you have the desired number of stitches, join the first and last stitches together with a slip stitch to create a ring. Next, work in rounds to create the height of the hat. Follow a simple pattern of single crochets in each stitch around the circle. Continue working in rounds until the hat reaches the desired height. To add a more complex design to the hat, you can incorporate different stitches or create stripes with different colors of yarn. Once the hat is tall enough, it's time to create the brim. This is where the distinctive shape of the witch hat comes in. To create the pointed brim, start by decreasing the number of stitches in each round. This will cause the edges of the hat to fold inwards and create the pointed shape. Continue decreasing the stitches until the brim is the desired width. Finally, finish off the hat by cutting the yarn and fastening off. Weave in any loose ends with a tapestry needle to ensure a neat finish. If desired, you can also add embellishments to your hat, such as a band or a decorative buckle. Crocheting your own witch hat allows you to customize it to your liking. You can choose the size, color, and design that suits your Halloween costume or personal style. It's also a great project for beginners to practice their crochet skills and create something unique and festive for the holiday. In conclusion, making an easy crochet witch hat is a fun and creative way to add a spooky touch to your Halloween costume. With some basic crochet skills and a few materials, you can create a custom hat that is sure to impress. So grab your crochet hook and get ready to bring a little magic to your Halloween festivities!.
