Rose Witch Hat

As soon as I discovered the power of super bulky yarn for making these pointy, frilly witch hats, my crocheting was never the same! My first and most popular witch hat design, my Candy Corn Witch Hat pattern, is still a favorite in my shop and on my blog each Halloween season to this day. But that sparked even more ideas for fun designs, like my Sunflower Witch Hat, Ice Cream Witch Hat, and Gingham Witch Hat! For this Rose hat, I really wanted to convey an almost fairycore-ish kind of whimsy for springtime. I’m happy with the results and am working on even more witch hats at the moment! Stay tuned!

The yarn used to make this hat, Lion Brand Hometown USA, is my go-to for making these hats! Find some on Amazon HERE!

Finishing

Note: it might help to arrange all pieces on hat before sewing, in order to visualize the way in which they fit best on the hat.  For hat in photo, Short Vines, Leaves, and Roses were all placed separately instead of overlapping in any way, and both sides of hat laying flat contained about 3 of each. 

Starting at top of Hat, wrap Large Vine loosely around Hat, being careful not to twist piece.  Make slight “waves” when wrapping.  Curl ends into curlicues.  Secure with straight pins if desired, and use long tail to sew piece onto Hat (first photo below). 

Coil and arrange short vines pairs around some of the vines on each side of Hat; use straight pins to secure if desired, and sew in place (second photo above).

Arrange leaves singularly and/or in pairs around some of the vines on each side of Hat; sew in place (photo below).

Arrange Roses on some of the vines on each side of Hat; sew in place (photo below).

Weave in all ends.
