Crochet Mini Witch Hat

Follow the easy steps to produce a charming accessory, perfect for Halloween or themed party favors. Engage in the joy of crafting as you bring to life a miniature hat that's sure to be the centerpiece of your festive celebrations. Let's begin this creative endeavor, bringing a little piece of magic into the world with yarn and hook.

Materials Needed:

Yarn: Baby soft yarn, 2 ply (thin), in colors of your choice (main color + a little of another color for detailing).
Crochet Hooks: 3mm and 3.5mm.
Additional Supplies: Needle, stitch marker, scissors, measuring tape.

Step-by-Step Instructions:

Starting the Top:

Starting Loop:

With the 3mm hook, form a magic circle.

Round 1:

Make 8 single crochet (sc) stitches into the ring. Pull the tail to close the loop tightly.

Continuous Rounds:

Without joining with a slip stitch, continue to work in rounds using sc. Place a stitch marker on the first stitch of each round to keep track.

Body of the Hat:

Round 2-5:

Continue working in sc for a total of 5 rounds. Do not count the starting magic circle as a round.

Switch to 3.5mm Hook:

After completing the sc rounds, switch to the 3.5mm hook.

Increasing Rounds:

For the next round, start increasing every alternate stitch (2 sc in one stitch, then 1 sc in the next, repeat).
Continue to increase rounds, adding one more sc between increases for every subsequent round (first increase round has 1 sc between increases, second round has 2 sc between increases, and so on) after each standard round of sc.

Finish Increase Rounds:

The last increase round should have 5 sc between each set of 2 sc in one stitch.

Adding a New Color & Making the Brim:

Switch Colors:

After completing the last round of single crochets, switch to your secondary color to work a slip stitch and then 3 rounds of sc in the new color.
Work over the tail of the new color yarn to secure it.

Switch Back to Main Color:

Drop the new color and pick up the main color yarn. Use it to slip stitch and work the next part.

Brim - First Round:

With the main color, do 2 sc in each stitch all the way around.

Brim - Following Rounds:

Start with 1 sc in the first stitch, 1 sc in the next three stitches (4 sc total), then do an increase (2 sc in the next stitch). Repeat around. Increase the number of sc between increases by 1 with each new round until the brim is the desired width.
