Magic Circle: If you are unfamiliar with the Magic Circle/Ring method you are welcome to chain 3, join, and crochet in the circle you created.

Before You Start
To keep the seam fairly straight, we will alternate where we put our first and last stitch in a couple rows. The first SC of each row is in the same stitch as your join, unless otherwise stated. In the rows where you skip the first stitch, your last SC will be squished in next to your starting chain.

Row 1: Starting with your main color, SC 6 into a magic circle. Join into the top of the first SC, CH 1. (6)

Row 2: INC, SC 5. Join into the top of the first SC, CH 1. (7)

Row 3: SC 2, INC, SC 2, INC, SC 1. Join into the top of the first SC, CH 1. (9)

For row 4 we’re going to skip the first stitch and place our first sc in the next stitch. That means our last stitch will be squished in tight next to our joining chain.

Row 4: SC 4, INC, SC 3, INC. Join into the top of the first SC, CH 1. (11)

Row 5: SC 1, INC, SC 4, INC, SC 4. Join into the top of the first SC, CH 1. (13)

Row 12 is worked in the front loop. Rows 12 and 13 are made using Half Double Crochet stitches.

Row 12: *INC, INC, HDC* around FLO. Join into the top of the first HDC, CH 1. (35)

Row 13: *INC, HDC 3* around. Join into the top of the first HDC, CH 1. (45)

Sew in your tails and you’ve got yourself a cute crochet Mini Witch Hat!

The brim naturally wants to flip upward, so I like to block it to help it lay flatter. Alternatively, crocheting row 13 in the back loop helps the brim turn more downward.

There are so many ways you can use these fun tiny witch hats. Here are a few ideas to get your creative juices pumping:

Add one to a crochet plushie for instant spooky charm
String several together to make a whimsical Halloween garland
Attach to a headband for a festive Halloween accessory
Set on top of a pumpkin as a cute seasonal topper
Clip to an alligator clip for a wearable mini witch hat
Pop one on a mug for a cozy little mug hat moment
Attach to a keychain to use as party favors

Changing up the yarn could also be fun! Use Bernat Blanket yarn for a chunky witch hat or go smaller with fingering weight yarn and make little crochet witch hat earrings.
