Hat Base (Gray yarn)
Round 1: Start with a MR, 6 sc in the ring (6).
Round 2: Inc in each stitch around (12).
Round 3:1 sc, inc around (18).
Round 4:2 sc, inc around (24).
Round 5:3 sc, inc around (30).
Continue increasing by adding 1 sc between each increase in the pattern until the hat reaches the desired diameter for the head (about 60-65 stitches for an adult-size hat).
Rounds 10-20: Sc around without increasing to build the height of the hat.
Round 21-25: Continue in gray yarn and start decreasing every 5-6 stitches to taper the top.
Continue decreasing until the top of the hat is closed. Stuff the top lightly with fiberfill before fully closing.
Hat Brim (Black yarn)
Round 1: Attach black yarn to the base of the hat.
Round 2:2 sc in each stitch around the base of the hat (doubles the stitch count).
Round 3:1 sc, 2 sc in next stitch around.
Round 4:2 sc, 2 sc in next stitch around.
Continue increasing every few stitches until the brim reaches your desired width. The brim should measure about 4-6 inches from the base of the hat.
Wire Insertion (Optional)
Insert wire around the brim and crochet over it to give the brim structure and allow shaping. Alternatively, stiffen the brim using fabric stiffener for a floppy effect.
Embellishments
Crochet small flowers, leaves, and pumpkins to decorate the hat.
Sew buttons, beads, and chains around the hat to give it a magical, eclectic look.
Add a bat applique or crocheted symbols to give the hat a spooky flair.
Belt and Buckle
Belt: Use black yarn to crochet a long strip that fits around the hat. Attach it with slip stitches.
Buckle: Use yellow or gold yarn to create a small square buckle and attach it to the belt with slip stitches.
