For Handspun Yarn
Handspun yarn lends itself perfectly to this slouchy witch hat pattern. I used about 60 yards of my bulky corespun art yarn for this fast-knit project.
Materials:
- Size US 13 circular and double pointed needles (DPNs)
- Approx 60-70 yards of bulky thick and thin yarn
- 20 or similar gauge wire
- Stitch markers or contrasting yarn scraps (optional)
This hat is knit in the round using a stockinette stitch starting with the outer edge of the brim and working inwards. I used circular needles until I reached the narrow point and switched to DPNs. Decreases use a k2tog stitch.
Finished Size:
14 inches wide x 22 inches long (excluding tail)
Gauge: 6 sts/6 rows = 4 inches in stockinette stitch
Abbreviations:
k2tog = knit two together
Begin knitting in the round, using the stockinette stitch (knit every round). 5. Continue knitting until the hat measures approximately 7 inches from the cast-on edge. 6. Decrease round: *Knit 8, knit 2 together* – repeat this sequence until the end of the round. (72 stitches remaining) 7. Next round: Knit all stitches. 8. Repeat steps 6 and 7 until there are only 8 stitches remaining. 9. Cut the yarn, leaving a long tail. Thread the tail through the yarn needle and slip the needle through the remaining stitches, removing them from the knitting needle. Pull tight to close the top of the hat. 10. Weave in all loose ends with a yarn needle. 11. Optional: If desired, you can add a crocheted or knitted brim to the hat for extra flair. This can be done by picking up stitches along the bottom edge of the hat and working in your desired brim pattern. And that's it! You now have a knitted witch hat ready to wear for Halloween or any other spooky occasion. Get creative and add your own personal touches, such as ribbons, feathers, or a crocheted spiderweb design. Enjoy your witchy masterpiece!.
Reviews for "Get ready for the season of magic with a free witch hat knitting pattern"
1. Sarah - 2 stars - I was really excited to find a free pattern for a knit witch hat, but I was ultimately disappointed with this one. The instructions were confusing and poorly written, making it difficult to follow along. Additionally, the sizing was way off - the hat ended up being way too small for an average adult head. I had to make several modifications to try and salvage it, but I ultimately ended up scrapping the project altogether. I would not recommend this pattern to anyone looking for a successful knitting project.
2. John - 1 star - This knit witch hat pattern was a nightmare to work with. The instructions were so poorly explained that even an experienced knitter would struggle. It felt like the designer didn't take the time to proofread or test the pattern before releasing it. The end result looked nothing like a witch hat, it was more like a misshapen blob. I wasted hours of my time and precious yarn on this disaster. Save yourself the frustration and avoid this pattern at all costs.
3. Emily - 2 stars - As a beginner knitter, I was excited to try making a witch hat for Halloween. Unfortunately, this pattern was completely overwhelming for someone of my skill level. The instructions were filled with jargon and assumed prior knowledge that I didn't have. I spent hours trying to decipher the pattern and correct my mistakes, but the end result was far from what I had hoped for. I would recommend this pattern only to advanced knitters who enjoy a challenge and have plenty of time to spare.
4. Mike - 2 stars - This free knit witch hat pattern left a lot to be desired. The sizing was completely off, resulting in a hat that was far too large for anyone's head. The design itself was also quite basic and lacked any creativity or unique details. The instructions were difficult to follow, with unclear explanations and confusing abbreviations. Overall, I was disappointed with this pattern and would not recommend it to others. It's worth investing in a well-written paid pattern for a better result.
