Materials Checklist for a Magical Make
To get the best look and fit, you should use the suggested materials for this pattern. The samples seen in the photos were made with Red Heart Super Saver and a 5.5 mm crochet hook. You can also use any other medium-weight yarn as long as it meets the gauge.
How the Witchy Cat Hat Comes Together
You start this hat at the top and work your way down, adding stitches as you go, so it shapes nicely to the head.
The brim’s made with double crochet in the back loops, which gives it a bit of stretch and a neat edge. Then you whip up the ears, eyes, and nose separately, stitch them on, and add little embroidered touches like whiskers.
Customization Ideas for Every Witch or Wizard
Nothing will make you feel better than wearing your own personalized Halloween hat. I’m sure you will find multiple ways to customize it. Here are some of the cool ideas to try out:
- Change yarn colors for a different vibe (purple, green, striped brims)
- Use glitter yarn for extra sparkle
- Modify cat facial features
- Use glow-in-the-dark yarn to make your hat illuminate when the lights go out
