Ooh la la…! Nibble nibble cuddly, who's nibbling at my house? For many a well-known statement from the fairy tale of Hansel and Gretel .. Witches have always fascinated me. No idea why, but the mystique around it has something..

 

A dream come true for me with this hat: A knitted Witches hat!!

Whatever you think about a witch, as a wise woman, herbal healer, someone with magical powers or just a fairytale character, the hat is so recognizable! Of course, that is how we envision such a person.

 

Size: Customizable.

In the example and this pattern I assume a head circumference of 55 cm. For every extra centimeter you add 2 stitches. This has no further effect on the pattern. Fit in the extra stitches evenly in the pattern.
