๐๐งถ FULL BEGINNER-FRIENDLY CROCHET WITCH HAT TUTORIAL ๐งโโ๏ธ๐ค โจ Step-by-step instructions for absolute beginners โจ Welcome to Loopy Lune โ Handmade Crochet Magic! ๐๐งถ Today we are making a spooky, cute and stylish CROCHET WITCH HAT, perfect for Halloween! ๐๐ฆ Donโt worry if you are a complete beginner. Iโll explain every step slowly and clearly. โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ ๐งถ MATERIALS โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ โข Black medium/worsted-weight yarn โข Crochet hook: 4.5 mm is a great starting size โข Scissors โ๏ธโข Yarn needle โข Stitch marker โข Measuring tape โข Optional: purple, orange or green yarn for decoration โข Optional: a small amount of stuffing for the tip if you want it to hold its shape ๐ก HOOK SIZE TIP: A 4.0 mm hook = tighter stitches A 4.5 mm hook = balanced stitches A 5.0 mm hook = looser and softer stitches If your stitches are very tight, try a larger hook. If your stitches are very loose, try a smaller hook. โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ ๐ CROCHET ABBREVIATIONS โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ MR = Magic Ring CH = Chain SC = Single Crochet SL ST = Slip Stitch INC = Increase ST = Stitch STS = Stitches FO = Fasten Off โญ INC means: Crochet 2 SC into the SAME stitch. Example: SC in the next stitch. Then crochet another SC into that SAME stitch. โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ ๐ค BEFORE YOU START โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ This hat is worked from the TOP of the pointed crown downward. We will make: 1๏ธโฃ The pointed top 2๏ธโฃ The tall cone 3๏ธโฃ The bottom of the crown 4๏ธโฃ The wide brim 5๏ธโฃ The finishing details Use a stitch marker at the beginning of every round. For beginners, I recommend working in SPIRAL ROUNDS. That means: โ Do NOT slip stitch to join every round. โ Simply continue crocheting around and move your stitch marker after each round. This helps create a smoother hat. โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ ๐ STEP 1 โ MAKE THE MAGIC RING โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ Make a Magic Ring. If you don't know how to make one: 1. Wrap the yarn around two fingers. 2. Insert your crochet hook under the first strand. 3. Pull a loop through. 4. Chain 1 to secure the ring. 5. Crochet 6 SC into the ring. 6. Pull the yarn tail gently to close the center. You should now have: โก๏ธ6 SC Place your stitch marker in the first stitch. ๐ก Beginner tip: Don't pull the center too tightly until all 6 stitches are inside the ring. โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ ๐งโโ๏ธSTEP 2 โ START BUILDING THE POINT โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ ROUND 1: 6 SC around. You should have: โก๏ธ6 stitches ROUND 2: INC in every stitch. That means: 2 SC in stitch 1 2 SC in stitch 2 2 SC in stitch 3 Continue around. Total: โก๏ธ12 stitches ROUND 3: Repeat: SC in the next stitch INC in the next stitch Continue around. Total: โก๏ธ18 stitches ROUND 4: Repeat: SC in the next 2 stitches INC in the next stitch Total: โก๏ธ24 stitches ROUND 5: Repeat: SC in the next 3 stitches INC in the next stitch Total: โก๏ธ30 stitches ๐ฏ You should now see the beginning of a small cone. โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ ๐ค STEP 3 โ MAKE THE WITCH HAT TALL โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ Now we want to make the hat taller without making it too wide too quickly. ROUND 6: SC around. โก๏ธ30 stitches ROUND 7: SC around. โก๏ธ30 stitches ROUND 8: Repeat: 4 SC INC โก๏ธ36 stitches ROUND 9: SC around. โก๏ธ36 stitches ROUND 10: SC around. โก๏ธ36 stitches ROUND 11: Repeat: 5 SC INC โก๏ธ42 stitches ROUND 12: SC around. โก๏ธ42 stitches ROUND 13: SC around. โก๏ธ42 stitches ROUND 14: Repeat: 6 SC INC โก๏ธ48 stitches ๐ก At this point, your cone should be noticeably taller. If you want a VERY tall witch hat, continue with the same idea: Work 2โ3 rounds of SC, then add another increase round. This allows you to control both the height and width. โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ โจ STEP 4 โ BUILD THE LOWER CROWN โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ Continue working SC around. If your hat is for an adult, continue until the lower part of the crown reaches approximately: ๐ 18โ22 cm in height The exact number of rounds will depend on your yarn, hook size and tension. Don't worry if your stitch count is slightly different. The most important thing is the FIT. ๐ก TRY-ON TEST: Place the unfinished crown gently around your head. It should eventually reach around your head without being extremely tight. If it is too small: โก๏ธAdd another increase round. If it is too large: โก๏ธStop increasing and continue with SC. โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ ๐ฉ STEP 5 โ PREPARE FOR THE BRIM โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ Once the crown reaches the desired height, stop increasing. Work: SC around SC around SC around Keep the stitch count the same. For an adult-sized hat, you may end up around: 48โ72 stitches depending on your yarn, hook and desired fit. ๐ฏ The bottom edge should sit comfortably around your head. โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ ๐ค STEP 6 โ START THE BRIM โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ Now we are going to make the wide, dramatic witch-hat brim. The brim needs to become wider than the crown. ROUND A: SC around. ROUND B: Repeat: SC in the next 7 stitches INC in the next stitch Continue around. ROUND C: SC around. ROUND D: Repeat: SC in the next 8 stitches INC in the next stitch Continue around. ROUND E: SC around. Keep alternating normal rounds with gentle increase rounds until the brim reaches the size you want. For a dramatic Halloween witch hat, aim for approximately: ๐ 7โ10 cm of brim width You can make it: โจ Smaller for a cute hat โจ Wider for a dramatic witch hat โจ Extra wide for a costume look โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ ๐ STEP 7 โ MAKE THE BRIM FLAT โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ This is very important! Look at your brim while crocheting. If the brim is: โฌ๏ธCURLING UP: You probably need more increases. If the brim is: ใฐ๏ธWAVING TOO MUCH: You may have too many increases. If the brim is: โ FLAT: Perfect! Adjust the number of increases according to your tension. Crochet is flexible, so don't be afraid to change the pattern slightly. โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ โจ STEP 8 โ FINISH THE EDGE โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ For a clean edge, work: 1 round of SC around the entire brim. Optional: You can finish with a SL ST around the edge for a neat, slightly firmer border. Then cut the yarn, leaving a tail of approximately 10โ15 cm. Pull the yarn through the final loop. Tighten gently. โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ ๐ชก STEP 9 โ WEAVE IN THE ENDS โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ Thread the yarn tail onto your yarn needle. Weave the needle through several stitches on the inside of the hat. Change direction and weave through the stitches again. Cut the remaining yarn close to the fabric. Do the same with every loose yarn end. ๐ก NEVER simply cut your yarn without securing it first. โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ ๐งโโ๏ธSTEP 10 โ ADD THE HALLOWEEN MAGIC! โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ Now comes the fun part! ๐โจ You can decorate your witch hat with: ๐ฃ Purple crochet band ๐ Orange crochet band ๐ฆ Small crochet bats โญ Stars ๐ Moon shapes ๐ Tiny pumpkins ๐ท๏ธSpider decorations ๐ค Black flowers โจ Embroidered details For a classic Halloween look: BLACK HAT + PURPLE BAND + ORANGE DETAILS ๐ค๐๐งก โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ ๐ OPTIONAL PURPLE BAND โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ Using purple yarn: Chain enough stitches to wrap comfortably around the bottom of the crown. Join the chain with a SL ST. Make sure the chain is NOT twisted. Work 1โ3 rounds of SC. Fasten off. Sew the band securely around the hat using a yarn needle. โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ ๐ OPTIONAL BUCKLE โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ You can make a small orange or gold crochet rectangle and sew it onto the purple band. This creates the classic witch-hat buckle look. โจ โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ ๐ฆ OPTIONAL BAT DECORATIONS โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ Make 2โ4 tiny crochet bats using black yarn. Sew them onto the hat or brim. You can also use embroidered bats if you want a faster beginner-friendly option. โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ ๐ HOW TO CUSTOMIZE THE SIZE โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ Want a CHILD SIZE? โก๏ธUse fewer increase rounds. โก๏ธStop when the crown fits the child's head. Want an ADULT SIZE? โก๏ธContinue increasing until the crown reaches the desired head circumference. Want an EXTRA LARGE COSTUME HAT? โก๏ธMake the brim wider. โก๏ธAdd more rounds to the crown. โก๏ธAdd extra decorative details. The beauty of crochet is that YOU control the final size. ๐งถโจ โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ ๐ก BEGINNER TROUBLESHOOTING โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ โ My cone is curling too much. โก๏ธThat's normal for the pointed crown. โก๏ธCheck that your increases are evenly spaced. โ My brim is wavy. โก๏ธYou may have added too many increases. โก๏ธTry a round without increases. โ My brim curls upward. โก๏ธAdd a few more increases. โ I lost count of my stitches. โก๏ธStop. โก๏ธCount the stitches around your round. โก๏ธPlace your stitch marker in the first stitch. โก๏ธContinue carefully. โ My stitches look too tight. โก๏ธRelax your hands. โก๏ธTry a 5.0 mm hook. โ My hat looks too loose. โก๏ธTry a smaller hook, such as 4.0 mm. โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ ๐ค IMPORTANT BEGINNER TIP โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ Your first crochet project does NOT need to be perfect. Your tension will improve. Your stitches will become more even. Your hands will become more comfortable. The goal is to learn, create and HAVE FUN. ๐งถโค๏ธEvery handmade piece is unique. โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ ๐ YOUR HALLOWEEN WITCH HAT IS READY! โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ You just turned a simple ball of yarn into a magical handmade witch hat! ๐งโโ๏ธ๐คโจ Perfect for: ๐ Halloween costumes ๐งโโ๏ธCosplay ๐ Halloween decorations ๐ Handmade gifts ๐ธ Halloween photos ๐งถ Crochet markets โจ Your own spooky-season style SAVE this comment so you can come back to the instructions while crocheting! ๐ โค๏ธLIKE if you want more beginner crochet tutorials. ๐งถ SHARE this with someone who loves crochet. ๐ COMMENT โWITCH HATโ if you want more Halloween crochet ideas! ๐ Follow Loopy Lune โ Handmade Crochet Magic โ for more cute, cozy and magical crochet projects!
