In a world filled with skepticism, logic, and reason, there is still a place for **trusting in magic**. While some may dismiss magic as fiction or an outdated concept, it holds a deeper meaning for those who are willing to believe. Magic, in its essence, is not just about illusions or supernatural abilities. It represents the unseen forces and possibilities that exist beyond the realm of human understanding. It is a reminder that there is more to life than what meets the eye. **Trusting in magic** does not mean abandoning rational thinking or denying scientific explanations.

Slouchy Witch’s Hat, free crochet pattern
As promised, I’m back today with a new free pattern. Just in time for Halloween, you can DIY your own witch hat. This one is very simple and works up quickly in a nice worsted weight yarn. It’s a versatile piece, able to be worn in a dozen different ways. Apparently, I have a really tiny head, so a circumference of 70 stitches worked just great for me. If you need something bigger, then ignore the stitch count at the end and throw in an extra stitch every few rows. Or, if you are so inclined, just tack on some increasing rows at the end.
I tried, I really did, but none of the cats was interested in modeling the hat for me. One of them was so small, he disappeared under it. I wish I’d gotten a video to share of that one. Let’s just say that hilarity ensued.
So, without further ado, here is the pattern. As always, if you have any questions, just drop me a line and I’ll try to answer them for you.
