I know there are a lot of witch hat patterns out there but I wanted one that was simple to do (suitable for beginners) and get had that pronounced shape with the tall point and gradually increasing width. The beauty of this hat is that it fits most people as it simply sits on top of your head (although I’ll give instructions for increasing the size). However, I also wanted to have a good brim which was not floppy. After trying and retrying this I gave up for a while and only when I was making glass flowers, I had the thought of using floristry wire around the brim. This is completely optional, but I love it as you can adjust the brim to get the look you want.

Once you have the hat made, why not think about unleashing your creativity and decorating it with a crocheted cobweb, or maybe even a spider hanging from the brim.
