Hearty Mushroom Witch Hat

Mushrooms are a huge part of cottagecore aesthetic right now, and I’ve become a big fan of crocheting them! You might remember my Hearty Mushroom Amigurumi pattern – this hat is the perfect companion to it! Because the only thing better than mushrooms are HEART MUSHROOMS!!!! I also love making Witch Hats (Candy Corn Witch hat, anyone??) so I figured, why not combine the two? Since this pattern uses super bulky yarn, it works up so fast and easily! It’s a great DIY for a last-minute Halloween costume!

Lion Brand Hometown USA is my go-to for this type of yarn – get some on Amazon HERE!
