Introduction

Hello friends and welcome to my YouTube channel, Knitting Kitty! Today I'm excited to share another Halloween knitting project with you. In this video, I will be giving you a detailed tutorial on how to knit witch hats. This is an updated version of a tutorial I made last year, and this time I will be including step-by-step instructions and demonstrating different color combinations.

Materials Needed

Before we begin, let's gather all the materials we'll need for this project. Here's a list of what you'll need:

• Yarn (Green, Purple, Yellow, and Orange)
• Crochet hook
• Scissors
• Darning needle

Now that we have everything ready, let's dive into the tutorial and start making our witch hats!

Witch Hat (Green, Purple, and Yellow)

Round 1: Starting with Green Yarn

To begin our first witch hat, we will start with the green color yarn. Make a magic ring and crochet six single crochet stitches into it.

Round 2: Single Crochet Increase

For the next round, crochet one single crochet in each of the previous six single crochet stitches.

Round 3: Single Crochet Increase

In this round, crochet one single crochet in the first stitch, then make an increase by crocheting two single crochet stitches into the next stitch. Repeat this pattern until you have a total of nine stitches.

Round 4: Single Crochet Increase

Crochet one single crochet in each of the previous nine stitches.

Round 5: Single Crochet Increase

In this round, crochet one single crochet in the first two stitches, then make an increase by crocheting two single crochet stitches into the next stitch. Repeat this pattern until you have a total of 12 stitches.

Round 6: Single Crochet

Make one single crochet in each stitch of the previous round.

Round 7: Single Crochet Increase

In this round, crochet one single crochet in the first three stitches, then make an increase by crocheting two single crochet stitches into the next stitch. Repeat this pattern three more times, then make one more single crochet and increase at the end. You will now have a total of 15 stitches.

Round 8: Single Crochet

Make one single crochet in each stitch of the previous round.

Round 9: Single Crochet Increase

In this round, crochet one single crochet in the first four stitches, then make an increase by crocheting two single crochet stitches into the next stitch. Repeat this pattern four more times, then make one more single crochet and increase at the end. You will now have a total of 18 stitches.

Round 10: Single Crochet Increase

Crochet one single crochet in the first two stitches, then make an increase by crocheting two single crochet stitches into the next stitch. Repeat this pattern until the end of the round.

Round 11-16: Switch to Purple Yarn

Switch to the purple color yarn and crochet two rounds without making any increases. Make one single crochet in each stitch of the previous round.

Embroidering a Belt Buckle

To add some detail to our witch hat, let's embroider a belt buckle. Use a darning needle and the yellow color yarn to create a square buckle shape near the base of the hat. Once you're done, hide the yarn tail using the darning needle.

Congratulations! You've completed your first witch hat. Now let's move on to the next design.

Witch Hat (Orange and Purple)

Round 1: Starting with Purple Yarn

For our second witch hat, we will use orange and purple color yarn. Start with the purple color yarn, make a magic ring, and crochet six single crochet stitches into it.

Round 2: Single Crochet Increase

Crochet one single crochet in the first stitch, then make an increase by crocheting two single crochet stitches into the next stitch. Repeat this pattern until you have a total of nine stitches.

Round 3: Single Crochet Increase

Crochet one single crochet in each of the previous nine stitches.

Round 4: Single Crochet Increase

In this round, we will change colors without cutting the yarn tails. Simply switch to the orange color yarn by covering the purple yarn in the final stitch of Round 3. Then, make a slip stitch in the first stitch of Round 4, which counts as the first single crochet. Make another single crochet in the next stitch.

Round 5: Single Crochet Increase

Crochet an increase in the following pattern: two single crochet stitches, then one increase. Repeat this pattern until the end of the round. You will have a total of 12 stitches.

Round 6: Single Crochet

Make one single crochet in each stitch of the previous round.

Continue with the instructions for Round 7-16, switching colors, making increases, and single crochets as needed to shape the witch hat.

Congratulations! You've finished knitting another witch hat. In my next tutorial, I will show you how to embroider a small spider on one of your Halloween hats.
