Candy Corn Witch Hat for Kids & Toddlers

Last year, I was so pleased with the love poured out for my Candy Corn Witch Hat! It occurred to me this year that who better to get in on the candy corn fun than the littlest of trick-or-treaters? That’s when I started designing sizes specifically for kids and toddlers. This witch hat is so fun, bright, and immediately recognizable, that it’s sure to be a hit as the highlight of a witch costume! Plus, since there are now three sizes available, you can get creative with matching costume ideas for the family! It doesn’t get much cuter than that!

That’s right – this uses the same trust yarn as my Candy Corn Witch pattern for adults: Lion Brand Hometown USA yarn! It’s got just the right size and texture to make this hat the perfect costume accessory! The colors are bright, and the stitches are beautifully defined! You can find some of this awesome yarn on Amazon:
