Making a Witch Hat: A Step-by-Step Guide

Welcome to Greta Wins, your go-to channel for all things crochet! In this tutorial, I'll be showing you how to make a charming witch hat using simple materials and easy-to-follow steps. Whether you're a crochet enthusiast or a beginner, this project is perfect for you. So let's dive in and get started!

Materials Needed

To make this beautiful hat, you'll need the following materials:

1. Oxford colored yarn (or any color of your choice)
2. Lilac colored yarn for decorative details
3. Gold colored yarn for additional embellishments
4. 2.5mm crochet hook
5. Scissors
6. Wool needle

That's all you need to bring this witch hat to life. So gather your materials and let's move on to the first step.

Step 1: Making the Magic Ring

To begin, we'll create a magic ring using the Oxford colored yarn. Make a single crochet in the form of an X or V, depending on your preference. If you opt for the V shape, use a 2.0mm crochet hook instead. For a detailed tutorial on this technique, refer to the video link provided in the description.

Step 2: Rounds 2-4

In these rounds, we'll be making six single crochet stitches in each round. This will form the base of our witch hat. Follow the pattern and continue working until you complete round four.

Step 3: Rounds 5-8

For rounds five to eight, we'll be repeating a pattern of two single crochet stitches followed by one increase. This will gradually increase the number of stitches and shape the hat further. By the end of round eight, you'll have 12 points.

Step 4: Round 9

In this round, we'll repeat the pattern of one single crochet in one increase four times. This will bring our total stitch count to 18 points. Remember to follow along and pay attention to the stitch pattern.

Step 5: Rounds 10-13

Now, we'll make 12 single crochet stitches in each round for rounds 10 to 13. This will continue to build the height of the hat and give it a more defined shape.

Step 6: Round 14

In round 14, our pattern will consist of two single crochet stitches followed by one increase, repeated six times. This will bring the stitch count up to 24 points and add a touch of elegance to the hat.

Step 7: Round 15

For round 15, we'll repeat the pattern of three single crochet stitches followed by one increase, six times. This will give the hat a nice flare and increase the stitch count to 30 points.

Step 8: Rounds 16-18

In these rounds, we'll continue to follow the pattern of increasing stitches. We'll start with two single crochet stitches followed by one increase, and then gradually increase the number of single crochet stitches between each increase. By the end of round 18, you'll have 36 points.

Step 9: Round 19

In round 19, we'll repeat the pattern of six single crochet stitches followed by one increase. This will bring the stitch count up to 42 points, giving the hat a fuller look.

Step 10: Round 20

Using the lilac colored yarn, we'll make slip stitches in the back loops only for round 20. This will add a decorative touch and create a contrast with the main color of the hat. Remember to secure the lilac yarn with the Oxford color yarn by weaving it through the stitches.

Step 11: Rounds 21-23

Continuing with the back loops only, we'll repeat the pattern of seven single crochet stitches followed by one increase for rounds 21 to 23. This will gradually increase the stitch count to 54 points and further enhance the design of the hat.

Step 12: Round 24

Switching back to the Oxford color yarn, we'll make slip stitches in the front loops only for round 24. This will create a nice texture and add visual interest to the hat.

Step 13: Rounds 25-27

For the final rounds, we'll make 108 single crochet stitches in each round. This will give the hat its desired height and make it more comfortable to wear. Follow the pattern and continue until you complete round 27.

Finishing Touches

To add the finishing touches, use the gold colored yarn and a wool needle to make additional details on the hat. This step is optional but adds a touch of elegance to the overall design. Refer to the video link for a visual demonstration.
