☾ Every witch deserves a hat that stands up for itself.

Floppy witch hats are cute for about five minutes. This one stands tall all on its own. The Wheat Stitch™ gives the cone a firm, braided texture that holds its point, and a ring hidden in the brim lets you bend it into a dramatic swoop, a crooked tilt or a big classic brim, and it stays right where you put it.

Make one for you, one for the kids and a tiny one for the baby. It comes in 8 sizes, so the whole house can match on Halloween night.

✨ What makes it work

• One piece, no sewing. Start at the point and work down. That’s it.
• Braided texture, easy stitches. Two rounds of back loop single crochet, two rounds of puffs, repeat.
• A smaller hook on purpose. It makes the fabric firm enough for the cone to hold its point.
• A brim that bends and stays. The last round is worked right over memory wire or drip tubing.
• You’re not on your own. Video tutorial, written pattern, chart and schematic all included.
