A whimsical, free-spirited witch hat featuring a dramatically curled, stuffed top, wire-shaped brim, adjustable tie, and 3-D mushroom pocket. The second strand of yarn is made from coordinating scraps, making every hat unique.

Size & Fit

The hat has an adjustable tie for a comfortable fit. Try the hat on during construction and adjust the length as needed. The brim can be shaped using the 18-gauge craft wire.

Gauge

Gauge is not critical. Fit is determined by trying the hat on as you work.
