Step 1: Gather Your Materials

Before starting, make sure you have the following materials ready:

• Worsted weight yarn (Size 4) in orange and black
• 3.5mm crochet hook
• Scissors
• Stitch markers
• Keyrings
• Written pattern (available at The Yarn Bowl Crochet)

Step 2: Start Crocheting the Witch Hat

1. Begin with a Magic Ring:

   • Create a magic ring with your black yarn. This will form the base of the hat.

2. Crochet the Base:

   • Chain 1 and make 6 single crochets (sc) into the magic ring.
   • Pull the ring tight and secure it.

3. Increase Rows:

   • Round 1: Make 2 sc in each stitch (12 stitches total).
   • Round 2: 1 sc in the first stitch, 2 sc in the next stitch; repeat around (18 stitches total).
   • Round 3: 1 sc in the first 2 stitches, 2 sc in the next stitch; repeat (24 stitches total).

4. Create the Hat Shape:

   • Continue crocheting in the round without increasing until the piece measures about 3 inches tall.

Step 3: Switch to Orange Yarn

1. Change Yarn Color:

   • After reaching the desired height, switch to your orange yarn.

2. Finalize the Hat:

   • Continue crocheting in the round for an additional inch using the orange yarn.
   • To finish, slip stitch into the next stitch and fasten off.

Step 4: Attach the Keyring

1. Prepare the Keyring:

   • Take your keyring and thread it through the top of the witch hat.

2. Secure the Hat:

   • Use a few stitches to secure the hat to the keyring, ensuring it stays in place.

Step 5: Add Finishing Touches

1. Weave in the Ends:

   • Use your scissors to trim excess yarn and weave in any loose ends using a yarn needle.

2. Check for Consistency:

   • Ensure all parts are secure and the hat is shaped properly.
