Are you a fan of all things witchy? Do you love crocheting unique accessories? If so, this witch hat crochet tutorial and free pattern is perfect for you! With just a few supplies and some basic crochet stitches, you can create your very own whimsical witch hat. To get started, you'll need some black yarn, a crochet hook, a yarn needle, and optionally some colorful ribbon or other embellishments. The first step is to create a magic circle, which will be the base of your hat. From there, you'll work in rounds, increasing the stitches to create a cone shape. Once you've reached the desired height for your hat, you'll finish off by decreasing the stitches to create a pointed top. It's important to keep track of your stitches and count them accurately to ensure the proper shape.

[Elf] Buddy has some degree of North Pole magic despite being a human
So Buddy obviously doesn't possess the magic of elves demonstrated by his inability to make toys at their rate. However, I believe he must have some amount of it, perhaps simply from living for 30 odd years in the North Pole. He seems to demonstrate several light magical abilities throughout the film that I'll list:
- Travels from the North Pole to New York without the clothing necessary for a human to survive. He also does not know survival skills, so he likely wouldn't have been able to make fire or hunt for food on the trip. Upon his arrival to New York he is not worn out, gaunt, showing signs of hypothermia, etc.
- Seems to not require a diet that a normal human would. Based on his "elf food groups,$ he has eaten mainly sugar his entire life, yet is 6'2" and perfectly healthy.
- Clothes seem to display magical behavior as well. They remain clean throughout the film, and at one point he pulls a bottle of syrup out of the loose sleeve; it would seemingly fall out normally.
- Has minor physical enhancements. There's the famous snowball scene in which he both creates dozens of snowballs in seconds, and throws them just as rapidly. He also takes a few beatings throughout the film and never has to receive medical attention afterwards. This one seems somewhat iffy though since he also seems to be hurt by minor thing such as a pinprick.
- Buddy demonstrates an enhanced stealth ability as well. First he manages to stay in Gimbels after hours, avoiding security guards to decorate the entire store. Later he destroys a TV stand and builds a rocking horse overnight, no one managing to hear him.
- General elf abilities. Even though he can't build toys to the degree of most elves, he is extremely talented in decorating, engineering work on Santa's sleigh, and woodworking. This could theoretically be chalked up to raw skill, but given the time he accomplishes his feats in, it seems very difficult for a normal human.
There are probably examples I'm forgetting or missed, but I think based on this it's clear that Buddy has inherited some holiday magic just by living in the North Pole.
