’The Witches hat’

Ooh la la…! Nibble nibble cuddly, who’s nibbling at my house? For many a well-known statement from the fairy tale of Hansel and Gretel .. Witches have always fascinated me. No idea why, but the mystique around it has something..

Whatever you think about a witch, as a wise woman, herbal healer, someone with magical powers or just a fairytale character, the hat is so recognizable! Of course, that is how we envision such a person. But a dream come true for me: Knit the Witches hat!!

This Witches hat also fits perfectly with Halloween! For fans of the Outlander series: La dame Blanche, meet La dame du Laine!

Measure
Customizable.
In the example and this pattern I assume a head circumference of 54 cm. (yes, I have a small head) For every extra centimeter you add 2 stitches. This has no further effect on the pattern. Fit in the extra stitches evenly in the pattern.

The hat
The Witches hat consists of a number of parts. First you knit a hat that fits your own head or the desired head circumference. Then the wide edge is worked. Finally, it is the point’s turn.
