Thank you so much for this tutorial! I am an avid crocheter but I usually stick to making clothes so this was a perfect challenge for me to get outside my comfort zone! I also wanted to note a modification I made that may help people out if they don’t have wire at their disposal. I just doubled up on yarn (using two strands starting at the base of the brim) and it kept the brim of the hat stiff enough to keep its shape!
Thank you it turned out great. Very easy to follow. I only have one problem, how do I get it to stand up without flopping over. I crochet tight and used a worsted weight yarn. Can someone help with this?
I used a cardboard circle and then traced a slightly 1/4 inch smaller circle and cut 2 out then glued them together and painted them black which made a perfect brim to crochet around
This hat is amazing and the steps are so easy to follow. I made the mistake of using a thinner thread and I've had to add so many rounds and I blew past the stitch count. It's unfortunate but I just continued the pattern and eventually I will get there. Thanks for making the video. To anyone attempting one...check your yarn size first!!
Thanks for the feedback Kimberly! Yes the yarn weigh makes a big difference. Another option is to double up on strands of thread so it’s about as thick as a medium weight.
This is great! I followed this tutorial “experimentally” as I used chenille wool which is why I had to increase the increases for the hat, and reduce the increases for the brim (a lot of try and error 😅). But all in all this video ist great as a guiding line. My hat now looks like a giant upside down ice waffle, ready to be decorated into a hat fitting the witch of Hansel and Gretel and her house made of sweets 😊🎀🍪🧁🍫🍬
This makes a great hat. I works also for my all-in-one comfort dolls. Just replace hdc by sc. And start flat until the first brim, after about an inch: the brim must be in circles (close with sl st). The flat start: crochet 2 sc. Ch1 and turn. 2sc in first, 1sc. Ch1 and turn. Etc. After an inch close with sl st.
I just happened to come across your channel and saw this tutorial on this Witches Hat. I've seen many tutorials on this project, but I have to say that this is by far the cutest one I've ever seen. Well Done 👏
Watching people crochet makes my brain hurt, thinking about doing it without a loom seems so daunting. But your voice makes me feel like I can do it and it's OK to mess up and take time to get it. I don't really get what I'm seeing, but I feel like when I follow as you do it I'll be able to get it cuz your instructions are so clear. Thank you for sharing such wonderful tutorials.
Aw that’s such a nice compliment. Thank you. And Yes, you CAN do it! It definitely takes lots of practice and I am not always that calm when I work haha.
Just started one for my daughter I find it easier to use a marker when doing a half double it helps a lot .thanks for the great pattern God bless stay safe
I can't wait to do this! New subscriber here (and I won't skip the ads) so glad I found your channel. Looking through your videos there are many projects I'll be doing! Thank you for sharing your talent and time!
Me encanta!!❤ está muy bien explicado, gracias a los subtítulos porque no se inglés. Pero el vídeo es muy claro y fácil de entender. Me encanta! Gracias!!🎉
im almost done with mine! only problem is that its super big and super floppy haha, found out it was using a 5.5 mm rather than your 5 mm lol. and i guess i was doing to too loose, i dont mind it too much, it adds character to me. im a wizard with a extra floppy hat
Adorable! I'm making one for my 7 yr old. I'm using thicker yarn and a 5.75 mm hook. For the ridges, I used back post HDC, was easier for me. Love the pattern tho. 💚 Thanks
just about done making a white version of this (making a costume of Siffrin from of stars and time!) and im so happy!!!!! if only i had more daily life events to wear a wizard hat for XD
I hope you don’t mind I share this link with a photo of mine finish product on a Facebook group as I’ve got so many compliments and other crocheters wanted to do this! Thank you so much for this video! I’m off to make 4 more Have a blessed day 💜
I don’t have a video for that, but after rnd 1 or 2 just start with another color and work both at the same time. Keep track of which color is on which rounds.
Floral crafting wire for the brim perhaps? For each ridge too? Might make the hat more formable? Just some thoughts I am thinking of trying...🤔 Happy Halloween 🎃 Thanks for the cool pattern👍
I LOVE your channel and the videos you make, they are super easy to follow for me as a starter! Do you have any patterns for gloves that dont have fingertips? If you could ever make a video for that I would love to watch it.
Ok I got up to where you take the hook out and fold it over and now I can't do anything else. I can't find where I'm supposed to start crotcheing again. It doesn't look right to me but I followed your directions perfectly.
Pipe cleaners work well for a stiffer brim that you can bend easily. Old school techniques never go out of style. I don’t like to reinvent the wheel. lol.
Hi i am almost finished with my own hat i just need to find the tube for the end. My question now is as follows: how did you make your point to twich as well? Thanks kindly
Im having such trouble pulling my loop through after finishing the first hat ridge, slip stitching the ends, and folding it over. Seems like my loop orientation is flipped from yours: my loop is on the outside once the ridge is folded, and my string is on the inside. And when I try to just slip stitch anyway to move on, it makes this ugly line in the ridge. Am I slip stitching wrong?
I always struggle to get started on something new. After you slip-stitch into the 1st double crochet stitch and chain one, do you go into the same stitch that you just slip stitched into? Idk if that makes sense but I’m having a hard time with starting round 2. I bought the pattern and watched your and other videos and started over and over and I can’t figure it out.
Hi Madisen, we are actually using half-double crochet for most of the rounds. When you start round 2, yes be sure to so a hdc into where the chain is coming out of. Because that was our first st of round1, it will also be first st of round 2.
So I am completely blind and just learning crochet I am working on a version of this with some minor changes but I like the increasing two every round when doing this what would happen if you increased at the start and end of every row? Would that be a desirable outcome
Hi, thanks for coming to my channel. If you increased in the same spot every round, there will be a noticeable bulge in that one place and took kinda uneven.
@@crochet.with.illjay I am grateful and honored at your reply thank you. I'm discovering this slowly but surely and I'm rotating with three stitch markers slowly around as I increase so hopefully that will avoid such an issue. Might I ask where I could purchase this design from you and where would be the best place to possibly ask a few more questions about constructing such a hat. Your video and explanation was excellent but not being able to see the finished product some things were unclear and I'm considering some alterations to suit my own tastes and to go along with a shawl that I've got just about half none
@crochet.with.illjay I just added a few rows of the half triple/ half double with increases. and ya my tension might be a pinch tight. my hat is starting to stand perfectly no starch needed. 😀
@@crochet.with.illjay ok i forgot. I'm not done, mainly because crocheting with cord is annoying, it's too slippery and tough, but also because your way of crocheting rounds is equally annoying. It's the second time i see someone doing it and it's just as confusing as the first one.
I know you probably won't respond, but I figured it never hurt to ask. If I wanted the point of my hat shorter, do you think it would look alright if I took one row out of the repeating rows? Or how else would you recommend I shorten the hat slightly? I'm wanting to make it into a whimsical sun hat out of raffia yarn for working in my garden during the summer.
Hi, I want to buy the pattern and I see that it’s available in 2 sizes, but I can’t see what the sizes are. Would the smallest size fit a child/toddler?
Im finding it difficult to source that tubing here in New Zealand. I tryed wire bit it keeps collapsing in on this self when i crochet around it. Any tips on what else i can use?

Thanks Abbie, nice problem solving!
I'm going to try this pattern after I finish a wip... just to verify you doubled up at the brim and not from the top? Thanks!!!
@abbiedigby7662 did you up the size of your hook when you added the 2nd strand and started on the brim?? This is a brilliant idea!
Excellent! I'm knew to any thing yarn 😊 I'm gonna do this!
For anyone confused about row 21 (when you start doing double crochet in the front loop); you should end up with 30 stitches, not 20.
Thank you! I could not figure out what I did wrong! Truly appreciate your comment!
weed whacker line also works great.
Interesting!
Wooihooi, ive got that on hand
Thank you it turned out great. Very easy to follow. I only have one problem, how do I get it to stand up without flopping over. I crochet tight and used a worsted weight yarn. Can someone help with this?
@@DeDe1H1 you can always try sizing down a hook size
I found wreath rings at the dollar tree and I used the largest one for the brim of my hat and it worked great!
Oh awesome! I would have never thought of that. Thanks for sharing :)
@@crochet.with.illjay not a problem at all! It was fairly easy to crochet around also! I certainly wish I could show you how it turned out!
I used a cardboard circle and then traced a slightly 1/4 inch smaller circle and cut 2 out then glued them together and painted them black which made a perfect brim to crochet around
Awesome! What a great idea, thanks for sharing.
So nice to learn a pattern without some goofy, obnoxious music in the background!
I can’t stand the tacky background music! Ahah
thank you so much for that @@crochet.with.illjay

I'm on my 3rd hat so far. Everyone wants one! I wish we could share pics here. These hats are just the cutest!✌️💗🧶
How do u get yours to stand up?
I'm a pretty tight crocheter. I haven't had any problem getting them to stand up.
Thanks LadyAndrea! You can share pics with me on Instagram, I would
Love to see! @_illjay__
Try adjusting gauge so that you are working tighter, or go down a hook size. You may need a few more increases if you do this.
@@crochet.with.illjay thank you so much!
Thank you , made one for my daughters witch costume and she loved it❤
Yay! That’s awesome 👏🏼
LOVE the hat!
Thank you! 🧙

I used the outer ring of a wire wreath! It works a treat. I did have to modify the amount of sc around the brim, but it looks good! Thank you! =)
Awesome, thanks for the feedback!

Gracias!
My great grandchildren just love this hat. I shared this with my friends. Thank you
Thanks Pat! Enjoy 🥰
Maybe safety pins or stitch markers for people like myself who struggle with the backward counting. 😊
I hate to admit, I didn’t enjoy making this hat 🤣🤣 but the finished project, I LOVE! ❤
😹I still appreciate this comment
I just finished mine! I love it! Made it floppy 🎉❤
Yay, congrats! Feel free to share with me on IG: @crochet.with.illjay

AWESOME!! Just finished just in time for Spooky Season!!! Thank you for the video, easy follow along!!
Yay! Thank you
im almost done with mine! only problem is that its super big and super floppy haha, found out it was using a 5.5 mm rather than your 5 mm lol. and i guess i was doing to too loose, i dont mind it too much, it adds character to me. im a wizard with a extra floppy hat
This can happen as we all work with different tensions. Smart to change hook size, got to adapt at times ;)
Adorable! I'm making one for my 7 yr old. I'm using thicker yarn and a 5.75 mm hook. For the ridges, I used back post HDC, was easier for me. Love the pattern tho. 💚 Thanks
Thanks Court! Good job improvising ;)
Vielen lieben Dank . Super Anleitung. ❤
Thank you Nanette, enjoy!

This one was fun to do! I feel like i have a lil bit bigger head cause i had to modify it but I love the finished product
Awesome, thanks Serenity!
It looks really good!
Thank you! 😉
Good timing for Halloween 🎃❤
Totally!
Thank you for the wonderful tutorial. I'm wanting to do mine in 2 alternating and continuous colors. Do you have a video that can help me?
I don’t have a video for that, but after rnd 1 or 2 just start with another color and work both at the same time. Keep track of which color is on which rounds.
This is so great! I'm on my second one.
This is fabulous!!! 💜
Thanks Virginia!
Floral crafting wire for the brim perhaps? For each ridge too? Might make the hat more formable? Just some thoughts I am thinking of trying...🤔 Happy Halloween 🎃 Thanks for the cool pattern👍
Thanks Tamyra, crafting wire could definitely work too. It will be more wavy and adjustable I would say.
This is a really cool hat, thank you 😊
Thank you!
Hey!! This is awesome!! Any suggestions on making a bigger brim? Like think Gandalf style. Just more rows?
You can go wider on the brim but will probably need to increase a bit more. Maybe 9-10 stitches for each additional round.
@@crochet.with.illjay omg you're awesome thank you so much ❤️
I think I might make this with a belt for my Halloween costume!
Let me know how it turns out :)
I LOVE your channel and the videos you make, they are super easy to follow for me as a starter! Do you have any patterns for gloves that dont have fingertips? If you could ever make a video for that I would love to watch it.
Thank you Skelrik, I don’t yet but will consider it for this winter season!
Ok I got up to where you take the hook out and fold it over and now I can't do anything else. I can't find where I'm supposed to start crotcheing again. It doesn't look right to me but I followed your directions perfectly.
I have NEVER crochet before but your video is so easy to follow im going to give it a go!!
Thank you for sharing this with us 😊
Thanks Hydrangea, good luck and patience to you!
Could you use a wire wreath hoop for the brim do you think? I have a few from the dollar store. 🤔
Maybe, try it out!
Hello. This is excellent!!! Thank you for this! What yarn did you use please?
I love this yarn, color mixed berry
Fabulous❤
Thank you!
Pipe cleaners work well for a stiffer brim that you can bend easily. Old school techniques never go out of style. I don’t like to reinvent the wheel. lol.
Can you see the fuzz between stitches? Would love to see, share with me on IG @crochet.with.illjay
Hi i am almost finished with my own hat i just need to find the tube for the end. My question now is as follows: how did you make your point to twich as well? Thanks kindly
Hi, not sure I understand your question. ..
where do you buy the poly tubing and connector please? or what size tubing and connector ... any ideas of what to type into google so i can find it :)
1/4” poly tubing and fittings. From amazon, Home Depot, other hardware or gardening center. It is used for irrigation as well.
@@crochet.with.illjay thank you :)

For the very first part, can we work the half double crochet into a magic ring?
Yes
Love this.
Thank you!
Great video Where do you find poly tubing and connectors?
Hardware store, garden centers, online…it’s 1/4 inch poly tubing
So I am completely blind and just learning crochet I am working on a version of this with some minor changes but I like the increasing two every round when doing this what would happen if you increased at the start and end of every row? Would that be a desirable outcome

How do you make the top stand up?
this is lovely I had to adjust it some though because I have a big head.😂
How did you adjust? It may not be your head, your tension might just be tighter than mine.
@crochet.with.illjay I just added a few rows of the half triple/ half double with increases. and ya my tension might be a pinch tight. my hat is starting to stand perfectly no starch needed. 😀
I Love this!! 💜💜💜
Thank you!
Kapitalny, dziękuję 😍
Thank you!
Thank you so very much. 🎉
You are welcome!
And why has no one ever told me about the counting backwards to get the right stitch like you did on the first row??? thank you
You’re welcome! ;)
Used 5mm hook and too small. Guess my tension is too tight. May try with bigger hook.
Hi Shaquira, yea try moving up to a 5.5 or 6mm hook is it’s too small.
or you could crochet out of polyester cord. it's more sturdy than yarn, so you won't need reinforcements.
Oh good idea!
@@crochet.with.illjay ok i just got the cord, i'll update you in a day or two on the results.
@@crochet.with.illjay ok i forgot. I'm not done, mainly because crocheting with cord is annoying, it's too slippery and tough, but also because your way of crocheting rounds is equally annoying. It's the second time i see someone doing it and it's just as confusing as the first one.

Yes, I think that would be a good problem solve. Try it out and see how you like it. You could also try increasing more frequently.
Just brought the pattern, maybe maybe, I might have it done by Halloween 😅
Thank you! You can totally get it done in time :)
Try using a st marker if you struggle to find the place to slip st great hat
Great tip, thank you!
What are the connectors called for the brim? I have the tube but couldnt find the connectors 😭
Get 1/4” coupling, sometimes called fittings for Poly tubing or irrigation tubing
Me encanta 🤩
Gracias!
Pipe cleaners do not work. Going to try some of the tips. On the last row and hopefully finished tonight after going through the garage
Hey beautiful illJay! Just bought your pattern. What is that brand/colorway of purple (that you're using in the demo) specifically? I LOVE it.
Thanks Elizabeth! The color is mixed berry by I Love This Yarn.
@@crochet.with.illjay Thank you SO much!
Crocheting while watching your tutorial..😅
Thanks a lot!!
Hi, I want to buy the pattern and I see that it’s available in 2 sizes, but I can’t see what the sizes are. Would the smallest size fit a child/toddler?
Im finding it difficult to source that tubing here in New Zealand.
I tryed wire bit it keeps collapsing in on this self when i crochet around it.
Any tips on what else i can use?
What about online from a hardware or gardening center? Or perhaps there is a substitute for irrigation tubing used in NZ?
Thank you for this video!!!!!
Thanks for watching Danyel :-)
I can't seem to find the poly tub anywhere can you share link to website I can purchase?
I'm halfway through. Having soooo much fun with this. Thank you for your clear instructions! ❤
What size poly tubing do you use? Is that 1/4 inch?
Yes
How did u get upper part to bend like that at the end?
I just bent it… 🤔 is yours too stiff?
