Wicked Stripes Witch Hat

If you’ve been reading my blog for a while, then you might have seen my Candy Corn Witch Hat pattern from last Halloween. It combined two of my favorite Halloween icons! And I was pleasantly surprised at how much folks loved it! So this year, I knew I wanted to explore even more witch hat designs. They are so much fun, so easy, and just fun to wear! A classic Halloween stripe design seemed to be the natural next step, and I was so happy with the results!

A huge chunk of what makes this witch hat look as awesome as it does is the yarn used to make it! That’s right, just like last year’s Candy Corn Witch Hat, we will be using Lion Brand Hometown USA yarn again! (By the way, have you heard my story about how I won Lion Brand’s Hometown contest last year? Read all about it in my Capitol Couture Newsboy Hat Pattern HERE!)
