If you love seasonal projects like this, you can find even more ideas in my 18+ Free Fall & Halloween Crochet Patterns collection.
This set of three crochet witch hats is made with super bulky size 6 yarn, so each hat works up quickly and has plenty of structure for displaying on a mantel, shelf, decorative tray, or tabletop vignette.
One of my favorite things about this pattern is how easy it is to customize. Add twine, wooden tags, faux flowers, greenery, ribbon, or other seasonal embellishments to give each hat its own unique look.
You can keep them simple and neutral for a more subtle fall display, or add spooky accents for a classic Halloween feel. However you style them, this crochet witch hat trio makes a fun seasonal project that can be used year after year.

How To Style Your Crochet Halloween Witch Hats
These Crochet Halloween Witch Hats are such a fun way to add a handmade touch to your seasonal decor.
Display the trio together on a mantel, shelf, tabletop, or decorative tray, or separate the hats throughout your home for smaller Halloween accents. Their different sizes make them especially easy to tuck around pumpkins, greenery, candles, books, or other fall decorations.
For a more traditional Halloween look, add spooky accents like faux spiders, black florals, or wooden tags. If you prefer a softer fall style, keep the embellishments simple with neutral ribbon, greenery, or natural textures.
Because the hats are easy to customize, you can change the colors and finishing details to coordinate with your own Halloween decorating style.
Yarn Suggestions For The Crochet Halloween Witch Hats
The Crochet Witch Hats are crocheted with Lion Brand Wool Ease Thick & Quick. This is a size 6, super bulky yarn. The colors shown are Oil Slick and Graphite.
Below are additional suppliers I recommend:
Yarn Alternatives
Feel free to experiment with different size 6 yarns or two strands of size 5 yarn held together, but please note the gauge may turn out slightly smaller or larger depending on what you use.
If you change the yarn size of the project, be sure to adjust your hook size accordingly, you don’t want large gaps in your hats.
Embellishments For The Crochet Halloween Witch Hats
Feel free to get creative with your embellishments.
For my Crochet Halloween Witch Hats, I used a mix of twine, natural ribbons, and seasonal floral picks. You can easily snip the individual flowers and leaves off larger picks with wire cutters, and then attach them with hot glue.
Most of the embellishments I used are from Michaels, but you can find similar options at most craft stores or online at Amazon or Walmart or Michaels on LTK Here.
– The vegan leather leaves and wooden tags (shown below) are from Savlabot on Etsy. I wrote a full blog post all about the different crochet tags I use. The full post can be found here.
