Little Witch Hat and Wizard Hat Crochet Pattern
Top off your plushie with a little more magic by adding a witch or wizard hat! You can also make these hats as their own standalone projects. Here’s how to crochet both hats!
These hats were designed to go with the birds in the little no-sew bird series, but you can also use this pattern to make little crochet hats for other similarly sized plushies or as little keychains, ornaments, earrings etc. (Note: For earrings, you may want to size the yarn and/or hook down to make them smaller! )
If you’re making the hat as their own standalone project, weave in the ends instead of sewing the hats onto the plushie.
So let’s get into the pattern!
A PDF version of this pattern is also available on Patreon.
Unless otherwise indicated, this pattern is designed to be crocheted in continuous rounds (or spirals).

Scissors
Yarn Needle
Stuffing, Pins, Stitch Markers (Optional)
Witch Hat:
Using Purple
R1: 4 SC in a MR (4)
R2: [INC] x 4 (8)
R3: [3 SC, INC] x 2 (10)
R4: [4 SC, INC] x 2 (12)
Change color to Yellow.
R5: [5 SC, INC] x 2 (14)
To help even out the jog, SL ST into the first stitch, but do not count it as a stitch. The first stitch of the next round should still be made in the same stitch.
Now let’s make the brim of the hat. Change color to Purple.
R6: CH 1, In FLO: [SC, INC] x 7 (21)
SL ST into first stitch and FO (or Invisible Fasten Off) leaving a long tail for sewing (or weave in ends if not adding the hat to a plushie).
If adding the hat to the raven (as pictured):
Don’t forget that you can find the free raven pattern here.
Optional: Lightly stuff the hat.
Making sure that R6 is flaring out to form the brim of the hat, sew along the brim to attach the hat to the top of the bird’s head (from R2 on one side of the head through R4 on the other side of the head if you’d like it tilted to the side as pictured.)
Wizard Hat:
Using Blue
R1: 4 SC in a MR (4)
R2: [INC] x 4 (8)
R3: [3 SC, INC] x 2 (10)
R4: [4 SC, INC] x 2 (12)
R5: [5 SC, INC] x 2 (14)
To help even out the jog, SL ST into the first stitch, but do not count it as a stitch. The first stitch of the next round should still be made in the same stitch.
Now let’s make the brim of the hat.
R6: CH 1, In FLO: [SC, INC] x 7 (21)
SL ST into first stitch and FO (or Invisible Fasten Off) leaving a long tail for sewing (or weave in ends if not adding the hat to a plushie).
Using Yellow, embroider stars around the hat by sewing a vertical straight line around 2 to 3 rounds long followed by two diagonal straight lines crossing over it. Repeat to embroider more stars.
If adding the hat to the owl (as pictured):
Don’t forget that you can find the free owl pattern here.
Optional: Lightly stuff the hat.
Place the hat over one of the ears. Making sure that R6 is flaring out to form the brim of the hat, sew along the brim to attach the hat to the top of the bird’s head.
