Insta Witch Hat -free crochet pattern-


Yes, I know, I know.... I haven't been posting here much as of the past year! Honestly, I just haven't had the time, or the time to even crochet (gasp!) I am working full time as an assistant market manager for a well known paint company, and.... for myself- always the entrepreneur- as owner, maker, mixer, marketer, manager, shipper, et etc etc for my nail polish company, Atlantic Elixir. I am going to shamelessly plug my own business here... these photos for the Insta Witch Hat were taken for my nail polish biz (that's why you see so many hands!) by the same name, Insta Witch Nail Polish.  

Getting back to crochet now, I really did enjoy making this hat! I am going to also wear it on Halloween :) I wanted to size it all out for smaller sizes, but alas... life gets in the way and I know I'm not going to have time.  Time (sigh) I wish I had more of it. 

I hope you enjoy the pattern!

Designed by Farrah Hodgson

Materials: 
  • 1 ball worsted weight yarn (size 4) approximately 300 yds. (I apologize, I bought this yarn last year and can't remember what brand it was!... it's a color changing yarn like Caron Cakes, but it wasn't Caron Cakes!)
  • Crochet Hook Size 5.0mm
  • Yarn Needle to sew in ends
Size: This pattern is for an adult head, but can be easily adjusted.

  1. Hi! Was just wondering if you have a video tutorial on this or if you could enlighten me on row 48? And then it goes back to row 46? Sorry I’m just confused on that part 😅

    2. Would you be willing to explain I’m working on it now and I’m lost

    3. You work in back row for 47 then you for row 48 go and work in the front stitches on row 46 so 47&48 are worked on row 46 just one in back stitch one in front. It makes a cute little rim on the outside of the hat before the brim starts

    4. I get that part but what about row 49? Im new to crochet so I’m having a hard time understanding how to start row 49.

      Delete
    5. I’m also confused by what to do with row 49. Are we supposed to work into the stitches that went in BLO or the ones that went into FLO?

      Delete
    6. Row 49, just do your 1st HDC into the next stich, and proceed. It's not separated, it just continues in the round, without doing row joins in between. the rows stack up, in the same way a soft serve cone does, it just spirals.

  2. Love this pattern! I'm on my 2nd one. My friends love it too, and it looks like I finally have a crochet gift to give that will be loved and worn. LOL

  3. Hello I was wondering if this is uk or uk terminology? I love it and I am looking forward to making my first one😁

    1. Since it uses SC at the beginning it's likely US terminology. UK doesn't use SC, it's called double crochet.

  4. Made this for myself and my s/o instantly stole it -- thank you so much!!

  5. So... either rounds 34-46 are completely unnecessary, or my stitching tension is not right, because i have attempted this hat several times now and it ends up being way longer/bigger proportionately compared to the example photo. The only time it looks about right is my recent version where i folded in that section of stitching to shorten it. Any advice would be appreciated, thank you.

    1. Same. Near as I can work out, if you want the hat shorter on top, just cut out a few of those rows between 34-46. Or add more if you wanna elongate and make it slouchy/droopy/cottagecore
