Introduction

Welcome to my crochet tutorial on how to make mini door witch hats! These adorable hats are perfect for Halloween decorations or adding a spooky touch to your amigurumi dolls. In this tutorial, I will guide you through the step-by-step process of creating these mini witch hats using simple crochet techniques. Let's get started!

Materials Needed

Before we begin, make sure you have the following materials:

• Yarn in three different colors
• Crochet hook (3mm)
• Marker
• Scissors
• Needle

Step 1: Making a Magic Loop

The first step is to create a magic loop. This technique allows you to start crocheting in the round. To make a magic loop, follow these steps:

1. Hold the end of the yarn in your hand, leaving a long tail.
2. Create a loop with the yarn, crossing the working yarn over the tail.
3. Insert your crochet hook through the loop.
4. Grab the working yarn with your hook and pull it through the loop.
5. Tighten the loop by pulling the tail end of the yarn.

Step 2: Single Crochet Around the Loop

Once you have your magic loop, it's time to start crocheting. In this step, we will single crochet around the loop. Follow these instructions:

1. Insert your crochet hook into the loop.
2. Yarn over and pull through a loop, creating a chain.
3. Yarn over again and pull through both loops on the hook.
4. Repeat steps 1-3 three more times, until you have a total of four single crochet stitches.

Step 3: Increasing Stitches

To shape the witch hat, we need to increase the number of stitches in each round. Follow these steps to increase stitches:

1. Insert your crochet hook into the first stitch.
2. Single crochet in the same stitch.
3. Place a marker on this first single crochet.
4. In the next stitch, work an increase. This means you will work two single crochet stitches in the same stitch.
5. Repeat steps 2-4 one more time to complete the round.

Step 4: Working in Spiral

For this project, we will be working in a spiral, which means we won't be joining rounds with a slip stitch. Follow these steps to continue working in a spiral:

1. Single crochet in the first stitch.
2. Insert your hook into the next stitch and single crochet.
3. Repeat step 2 until you reach the end of the round.
4. Continue working in a spiral, single crocheting in each stitch.

Step 5: Creating the Strap

Now it's time to create the strap for the witch hat. Follow these steps:

1. Choose a different color of yarn for the strap.
2. Insert your crochet hook into the round where you want to start the strap.
3. Pull the yarn through and create a slip knot.
4. Single crochet in the next stitch.
5. Repeat step 4 until the strap reaches your desired length.
6. Cut the yarn and secure the end.

Step 6: Embroidering a Design

To add a decorative touch to your witch hat, you can embroider a design on the strap. Follow these steps:

1. Choose a contrasting color of yarn for the design.
2. Insert your needle into the strap, creating the desired design.
3. Weave in any loose ends to secure the embroidery.
