Are you interested in making your own witch hat for Halloween? Look no further! With this witch hat crochet tutorial, you'll be able to create a unique and stylish accessory in no time. To begin, gather your materials. You'll need a crochet hook (size G or H), black yarn, and a yarn needle. It's important to choose a yarn that is suitable for hats and will hold its shape when crocheted. Start by making a slipknot and chaining eight stitches. Then, slip stitch into the first chain to join in a circle.
We have a mission beyond circulation, we want to bridge divides. We’re about kicking down the door of thought everywhere and saying, “You are bigger and more capable than you realize. And we can prove it.”
This forms the prologue, and the What If scenario that Hansel and Gretel were to build on their initial success, and form a career out of hunting, and destroying witches anywhere, bounty hunter style. Many things that end up being meaningful, writes social scientist Joseph Grenny, have come from conference workshops, articles, or online videos that began as a chore and ended with an insight.
Then, slip stitch into the first chain to join in a circle. This will create the base of your hat. Next, work a round of single crochet stitches into the circle, increasing the number of stitches evenly as you go.
"Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters": Critics weigh in on fairy tale twist
Get ready for a new take on a classic Brothers Grimm tale. "Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters" has landed in theaters in both 3-D and IMAX 3D formats, with Oscar nominee Jeremy Renner and actress Gemma Arterton ("Prince of Persia: Sands of Time") in the title roles.
"Witch Hunters" picks up years from where the original fairy tale left off. Hansel and Gretel are now adult witch hunters bent on vengeance following their childhood ordeal with a kid-eating witch. Famke Janssen co-stars as the villain, who happens to be -- you guessed it -- a witch.
Critics have not been too kind to these witch-hunting siblings. Several reviewers have blasted the film for its thin story, deliberate anachronisms, and lack of funny dialogue -- perhaps a surprise given that Will Ferrell serves as one of the film's producers.
Here's what some critics had to say:
Andrew Barker, Variety: "'Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters' is not a good film -- it's inconsistently acted, and somehow both underwritten and overplotted -- but it has some good things going for it. For one, it's not outrageously dumber than its revisionist fairy-tale predecessors "Van Helsing," "Red Riding Hood" or TV's "Once Upon a Time," and it's far more goofily violent."
Peter Howell, Toronto Star: "Once you get past the mildly amusing idea of a grown-up Hansel and Gretel seeking violent payback for childhood trauma, the joke gets old very quickly."
Stephen Farber, The Hollywood Reporter: "Lots of anachronisms and tongue-in-cheek dialogue establish the spoofy nature of this violent venture. All that's missing is a genuine sense of wit."
Lou Leminick, New York Post: "When a flick's been whittled down to just 80 minutes before the end credits, it's a sure sign of a dump job designed to suck up as many dollars as possible before lethal word-of-mouth spreads."
Claudia Puig, USA Today: "The 3-D special effects are annoyingly in-your-face, devoid of any real purpose beyond startling the viewer. Recoiling may be the only reaction the film induces."
Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News: "There are some funny lines, and several cool battle scenes between the hunters and their black-magic prey. But even in 3D, the effects fall flat as often as they impress, with little attention paid to important details."
Tom Charity, CNN: "Writer-director Tommy Wirkola, whose first film was the cult Nazi zombie pic 'Dead Snow,' hasn't concocted more than a slender thread of a narrative. A witch is snatching so many children that the town mayor brings in the sibling celebrity bounty hunters (wait a minute, didn't Terry Gilliam all ready make this movie as 'The Brothers Grimm'?). Rather than construct any scares, suspense or surprise, the movie attempts to stave off boredom with a dose of kung fu fighting every five minutes."

This will gradually widen the base and create the cone shape of the hat. Once you have reached your desired circumference, continue working in rounds of single crochet stitches without increasing. This will heighten the cone shape and create the length of the hat. Keep crocheting until the hat is the desired height. To give the hat its signature point, it's time to decrease stitches. **Start decreasing every few stitches, evenly spaced around each round, until you have a small number of stitches left**. You can experiment with the number and frequency of decreases to achieve different hat shapes. When you have completed the decreases, fasten off the yarn and weave in any loose ends. Your witch hat is now complete! Feel free to add embellishments such as ribbons, feathers, or even a buckle for an extra touch of creativity. Remember to adjust the size of your stitches and hook if needed to achieve the desired fit. Additionally, feel free to experiment with different colors, yarn types, and stitch patterns to make your witch hat truly unique. Have fun crocheting and enjoy wearing your new hat this Halloween season!.

1. Samantha - 1 star - I was really disappointed with this witch hat crochet tutorial. The instructions were confusing and poorly written, making it almost impossible to follow along. Additionally, the video quality was very poor, making it even more difficult to understand the steps. I had to stop halfway through because I just couldn't figure out what I was supposed to be doing. Overall, I would not recommend this tutorial to anyone who is looking for clear and concise instructions.
2. Jessica - 2 stars - I was excited to try out this witch hat crochet tutorial, but unfortunately, it fell short of my expectations. The instructor moved way too quickly and didn't provide enough explanation for each step. As a beginner, I struggled to keep up and had to pause the video multiple times to try and figure out what she was doing. Additionally, the camera angles weren't great, so it was difficult to see the details of the stitches. While the end result may have been nice, the lack of clear instruction made the process much more frustrating than enjoyable.
3. Michael - 2 stars - I found this witch hat crochet tutorial to be quite disappointing. The instructor seemed more focused on finishing the project quickly rather than explaining the steps in a clear and concise manner. Many times, she would skip over important details or assume that viewers would know certain techniques. As a beginner, I felt lost and overwhelmed with the lack of guidance. I also noticed some mistakes in the instructions, which only added to my frustration. Overall, I would not recommend this tutorial for beginners or anyone looking for a thorough and well-explained crochet project.
