Sometimes you just need a cute witch hat! I created this adorable pink and orange little hat for my good little witch, Kyla. Made with Red Heart Reflective yarn, it is fun to watch it shine in the light! *Please note that this yarn is not made to be used for safety equipment.
Good Little Witch Hat ~ Child Size
Free Crochet Pattern

Toddler (Child small/medium, Child medium/large) 16” (18”, 20”)
Yarn:
RED HEART® Reflective Neon Pink: 130 (140, 150) g

Hook:
US 8/H/5.00 mm
Gauge:
14 sts by 7 rows in dc in a 4″ square
Stitches and Skills used:
ch ~ chain
sc ~ single crochet
hdc ~ half double crochet
dc ~ double crochet
st(s) ~ stitch(es)
Getting Started:
This pattern uses a hook that is much smaller than would normally be used for this yarn. This is done to create a stiffer fabric so that the hat stands up on its own and the brim is not too floppy.
Optional: If you would like the brim to be even stiffer, you can add in brimlock around the hat, making the last round of the brim over top of the brimlock. You can order brimlock here and joiners here.

Thank you! She got all excited when I showed her we could give her spooky eyes on PicMonkey!
starting the brim and totally confused with all the different numbers, I ended with 68 stitches on the band
Just use the numbers for the size you are making, same as you did for the band.
i really enjoyed this pattern for the witch hat my granddaughter is going to be a witch for holloween
There’s definitely a mistake in round 1 of the Hat Brim made up in Medium size.
The maths don’t work out.
Did you mean to put 5 sc not 9? Even then, it leaves you at 70 not 72 🤷🏼♀️
Otherwise lovely pattern.
You are so right! I just re-wrote Round 1 of the Hat Brim and triple checked that the math works for all 3 sizes. Thank you so much for pointing that out. I hope the hat brings lots of spooky fun!
