Amigurumi Witch Hat

About This Mini Witch Hat pattern

• This is a fun little crochet hat you can use to dress up amigurumi like this tiny amigurumi ghost, dolls, and stuffed animals. 
• It is very quick to make, however, if you a new to making amigurumi the first few rounds can be a bit fiddly. This is because the first few rounds consist of a few stitches but as you continue the stitch count increases and it becomes easier to work.
• I made this small Halloween witch hat pink, but you could make it black, purple, or whatever color you like.
• If you need a flat witch hat for appliques see our easy witch hat applique pattern.

Type of Yarn To Use

You can use almost any kind of yarn for amigurumi, but it is best to a type that does not stretch too much.

This way, you will create a firm fabric that keeps the stuffing inside.
The thickness of the yarn you choose will change how big or small your item turns out.

Chunky and bulky weight yarns make things quite large, while worsted weight yarn makes them somewhat medium size and lighter ones like DK and sport yarn make them smaller.

When selecting your yarn, do not use the suggested hook size. Instead, choose a hook size that is one or two sizes smaller. This way, your stitches will be tight and neat.

Crochet Stitches

You will need to know a few basic stitches like; chain stitch, single crochet, and slip stitch to make this amigurumi ghost pattern. Learn more about these stitches below.

Chain Stich (ch)

1. Make a slip knot.
2. Yarn over hook (YO)
3. Draw a loop of yarn back up through the loop on the crochet hook. One chain stitch made.
4. Yarn over hook (YO) and draw a loop through the loop on the hook to create another chain, and repeat to create new chain stitches.
5. See how to start a crochet chain stitch with detailed step-by-step instructions.

Single Crochet (sc)

1. Yarn over hook (YO), insert hook from the front to the back of a stitch.
2. Yarn over hook (YO) and pull back up through the stitch. You should have two loops on the hook.
3. Yarn over the hook (YO) and pull the yarn back through all the loops on the hook.
4. This completes a single crochet stitch.
5. See how to single crochet with detailed step-by-step instructions.

Slip Stitch (sl st)

1. Insert the hook from the from to the back of a stitch.
2. Yarn over hook (YO) pull the yarn back through both the stitch and the loop on the hook.
3. This completes a slip stitch.
4. See how to crochet a slip stitch with detailed step-by-step instructions.

You will also need to know how to identify the front loops (FLO) of stitches. 

You can learn more about this in our special stitches section further down the page.

Special Stitches And Terms

Front Loop / Front Loop Only (FL or FLO)

• When you normally crochet you tend to look at the side of the work. To identify the front loop, look at the row from the top.
• Each of the stitches will look like a "V" laying down with its point, pointing to the left and away from the hook if you are a right-hand crocheter.
• The loop of the "V" that is at the front of the work is referred to as the front loop.
• This single front loop is the part of the stitch you need to crochet into whenever a pattern asks you to crochet into the front loop only.
• In patterns, you will see this term written as FL or FLO which refers to front loop or front loop only.
• You may even see it in patterns written listed with a stitch for example; as hdc-flo (half double crochet in the front loop only) or tr-flo (treble stitch in the front loop only).

Pattern Notes

• This amigurumi pumpkin is crocheted in a spiral, so do not join the rounds.
• Use a stitch marker to make the first stitch of each round as you go.
