Materials and Tools

Gather the following crochet supplies that the tutor suggested for crocheting this witch hat for beginners:

1. Purple Cotton Yarn is used for crocheting the main body of the witch hat. Cotton yarn is a great choice for keychains since it’s sturdy, holds shape well, and doesn’t fuzz as much as acrylic.

2. Grey Cotton Yarn Likely used for decorative parts (such as the hat band or detailing). Adds contrast so the hat looks more realistic and stylish.

3. 2.5mm Crochet Hook Small hook size that works well with thin cotton yarn. Helps create tight stitches so the hat is firm and not floppy, which is perfect for keychains.

4. Scissors

7. Keychain

How is it done?

The process is as follows:

1. Rounds 1-8: The video begins with creating a magic ring and then follows a series of rounds with single crochets and increases to form the main shape of the hat.
2. Changing Colors: For Round 9, the color is changed from purple to gray, working a single crochet around to maintain 15 stitches.
3. Creating the Brim: The color is changed back to purple for Round 10, where the creator works on the front loop only to create the brim of the hat.
4. Finishing Touches: After crocheting, the loose yarn ends are hidden by turning the hat inside out. The video then shows how to attach a charm between Rounds 5 and 6 and how to secure a keychain to the top of the hat using a tool.
