The fall season has some pretty recognizable motifs – and two of them are sunflowers and witches! Sunflowers are classic happy flowers that are all in bloom around late summer and fall, and witches are an unmistakable trademark of the Halloween season! So why not combine the two? Crochet your very own lovely witch hat adorned with a field of sunflowers – not to mention lots of other fun embellishments like netting and flowers, if you please! This easy pattern will have you creating a DIY Halloween costume for the ages in no time! And it includes Kids and Toddlers sizes, too!

Sunflower Witch Hat

Sunflowers and witch hats tend to be on my hook a lot, which you’ve probably noticed from patterns like my Sunflower Afghan, Sunflower Placemats, and even Sunflower Mermaid Blanket! And also my Candy Corn Witch Hat, Ice Cream Witch Hat, and Wicked Stripes Witch Hat! So I figured, why not combine the two? A fancy floral witch hat is just right for a Halloween costume and can be paired with just about anything – from a cute Halloween tee and tutu to an elaborate medieval style gown. The possibilities are endless!!!
