In this note, we will provide instructions for crocheting a witch hat. Crocheting a witch hat can be a fun and creative project for Halloween or costume parties. It is relatively simple to make and can be customized with different colors and embellishments. To begin, gather the necessary materials, including crochet hooks, yarn in your desired color, and a tapestry needle. The main idea in bold here is to gather necessary materials, as it is important to have the right tools and supplies before starting any crochet project. Once you have all your materials, you can start crocheting the base of the hat.
A combo ticket is available on Dec. 1. For the remaining days of VCC you’ll need a separate ticket for each event. VCC tickets for its other event days can be purchased here: https://www.thefair.com/activities/a-victorian-country-christmas/
This was the most crowded area during our visit and while most people did a good job keeping their masks on, I was still a little uncomfortable being that close to other people but maybe that s more just me. The event is included with your Victorian Country Christmas ticket, or your opening day combo ticket for Holiday Magic and Victorian Country Christmas.
Once you have all your materials, you can start crocheting the base of the hat. This is done by creating a chain of stitches that will form the circumference of the hat. The next step is to work in rounds, increasing gradually to create the cone shape of the hat.

We had a wonderful time visiting the Washington State Fair’s Holiday Magic event last week! It was beautifully done and the kids had such a great time.
As soon as you walk through the gates, you’re welcomed with a gorgeous light tunnel (and plenty of photo opportunities). The kids had a great time running through on their way to find the carousel and Santa Train ride (both included with entry).
We found the train ride first and had a great time riding around looking at all of the Christmas lights. Our two year old said that this was his favorite part of the night.
Right after the train, we walked over to the carousel and my husband took the kids on a ride while I snapped a few photos. This was another hit with the kids and a favorite for all of them.
There was also a Santa’s Workshop set up in the Sillyville farm area where each child was given a small stocking to fill as they visited various parts of Santa’s village. Our kids personally really liked the Winter Wrap Shoppe where they helped the elves color wrapping paper and Mrs. Claus’s Kitchen where they received a cookie and a cup of milk.

After that, we grabbed dinner. It was your normal fair kind of food so keep that in mind if you’re planning on eating during your visit. The best part was taking our food into the ChillVille barn where tables were set up along with a complimentary hot chocolate bar (which we definitely took advantage of!). The kids also enjoyed saying “hi” to the clucking chickens that were singing Christmas carols.
After dinner, we headed to one of the indoor light tunnels. Our toddler enjoyed chasing the lights shining on the ground and our girls loved seeing all of the lights everywhere.
We also checked out the Joy Around the World exhibit in the next barn over. It was really cute and a great way to learn about holidays around the world.
After that, we headed to another nearby barn for various fun photo opportunities including a snow globe, a glow in the dark room, a tropic Christmas, and more. Our kids loved it and had a lot of fun posing everywhere.
Holiday Magic also had a live nativity with a goat, sheep, cow, and donkey. This was the most crowded area during our visit and while most people did a good job keeping their masks on, I was still a little uncomfortable being that close to other people (but maybe that’s more just me?).
The Arctic Adventure was a light and music show that we popped into for a moment. It wasn’t our favorite, but there was so many other things to see that it wasn’t too much of a loss for us.
We ended by checking out the various decorated Christmas trees and the gift shop. The Washington State Fair offers ice-skating for an additional fee, but we passed at this time since we’ve already been to a local ice skating rink a couple of times this season.
Overall, we had a really great time. It reminded me a little bit of Enchant, and it was a nice way to celebrate the holiday season. Tickets can be purchased at the door or online and Holiday Magic goes until December 31st (they’ll be having a special fireworks display on New Years Eve!).
Thank you so much to the WA State Fair for hosting our family at Holiday Magic. We had a fantastic time and hope to come back again next year!
Holiday Magic is not around for long, though, with just 16 select dates between Dec. 1 and 23. (That means buy your tix asap.)
This is achieved by adding extra stitches at certain intervals. It is important to keep count of your stitches to ensure a symmetrical and well-shaped hat. Once the desired height is reached, you can begin decreasing stitches to close the top of the hat. This is done by crocheting stitches together in each round until only a small opening is left. At this point, you can fasten off and weave in any loose ends. Finally, you can add any desired embellishments to personalize your witch hat. This can include adding a brim, attaching a decorative band, or even incorporating unique designs or patterns. The main idea in bold is to add desired embellishments, as this allows for creativity and customization of the finished hat. In conclusion, crocheting a witch hat can be a fun and enjoyable project. By following these instructions and utilizing your creativity, you can crochet a unique and festive hat for Halloween or costume parties..
Reviews for "Crochet witch hat patterns for every skill level"
1. Jane - 1 star
I was really excited to try out the "Witch hat crochet instructions" because I love crafting and Halloween, but I was extremely disappointed. The instructions were poorly written and difficult to follow. The author assumed that I had a certain level of crochet knowledge, which I didn't, and it made it nearly impossible for me to complete the project. The lack of step-by-step photos or illustrations also made it confusing. I ended up giving up halfway through and just buying a hat instead.
2. Mike - 2 stars
While the "Witch hat crochet instructions" had potential, I found the final product to be quite lackluster. The design itself was unimpressive and didn't look like a witch hat at all. Additionally, the instructions were unclear at times, and I had to constantly reread and guess what the author meant. As someone who enjoys crochet, I was disappointed with the outcome and wouldn't recommend these instructions to others.
3. Sarah - 1 star
I don't usually write negative reviews, but I was so frustrated with the "Witch hat crochet instructions" that I felt compelled to share my experience. The instructions were confusing right from the start, and it felt like the author assumed I had extensive crochet knowledge. Even after countless attempts and hours spent, I couldn't get the hat to look anything like the picture shown. It was a waste of my time and materials. I would advise others to look for alternative instructions or patterns.
4. Mark - 2 stars
I tried following the "Witch hat crochet instructions" and ended up with a frustrating experience. The guide lacked clear explanations and skipped over important details. Furthermore, the sizing of the hat didn't seem accurate, as it ended up being too small for an average adult head. I had to undo and redo several sections, wasting time and yarn. Overall, I was disappointed with the instructions and wouldn't recommend them to fellow crocheters.
