Witches Hat Pattern for Halloween

Today I knitted up this little witches hat for the Halloween season which has so many possibilities... It can be used for a mobile, a little moblie of hats or just a hanging ornament somewhere, Halloween decor... Another nice idea is to use them as Halloween party invitations with the details attatched on a piece of card by string:) It's not too big, about 2.5 inches tall and you could make it bigger by doubling the pattern. Such a quick and easy little knit, it took me about 15 minutes from beginning to end:)


Materials:

Scraps of black yarn.
4mm / 6 US circular needles or 4 DPNs
Wool needle for sewing in the ends
Fleece if you want to stuff your hat, makes it look nice and full.

Pattern:

Cast on 30 stitches and join for knitting in the round with the magic loop technique or your DPNs.
Round 1: Knit
Round 2:(Knit 1, Knit 2 together) across the round. (20 stitches)
Round 3: Purl
Round 4: Knit 2 together across the round. (10 stitches)
Rounds 5 to 11: Knit
Round 12: Knit 1, knit 2 together, knit 4, knit 2 together, knit 1. (8 stitches)
Rounds 13-15: Knit
Round 16: Knit 1, knit 2 together, knit 2, knit 2 together, knit 1. (6 stitches)
Rounds 17-18: Knit
Round 19: Knit 1 knit 2 tog, knit 2 tog, knit 1. (4 stitches)
Round 20: Knit
Round 21: Knit 2 together, knit 2 together.

Break yarn and thread it through a wool needle and thread the needle through the remaining stitches and pull tight. Sew in all the ends.

You are finished!
Happy knitting:)

  3. Just wanted to thank you for a pattern you submitted to the Rhythm of the Home magazine - I've been terrified of needlework since a bad experience with a textiles teacher at school 15 years ago, but I was inspired to have a go at your autumn needle-book pattern. If you're interested in the results (not as neat and pretty as yours, but I was happy!) they're on my blog, at:
