Thank you so much for this tutorial! I am an avid crocheter but I usually stick to making clothes so this was a perfect challenge for me to get outside my comfort zone! I also wanted to note a modification I made that may help people out if they don’t have wire at their disposal. I just doubled up on yarn (using two strands starting at the base of the brim) and it kept the brim of the hat stiff enough to keep its shape!
Thank you it turned out great. Very easy to follow. I only have one problem, how do I get it to stand up without flopping over. I crochet tight and used a worsted weight yarn. Can someone help with this?
I used a cardboard circle and then traced a slightly 1/4 inch smaller circle and cut 2 out then glued them together and painted them black which made a perfect brim to crochet around
This hat is amazing and the steps are so easy to follow. I made the mistake of using a thinner thread and I've had to add so many rounds and I blew past the stitch count. It's unfortunate but I just continued the pattern and eventually I will get there. Thanks for making the video. To anyone attempting one...check your yarn size first!!
Thanks for the feedback Kimberly! Yes the yarn weigh makes a big difference. Another option is to double up on strands of thread so it’s about as thick as a medium weight.
This makes a great hat. I works also for my all-in-one comfort dolls. Just replace hdc by sc. And start flat until the first brim, after about an inch: the brim must be in circles (close with sl st). The flat start: crochet 2 sc. Ch1 and turn. 2sc in first, 1sc. Ch1 and turn. Etc. After an inch close with sl st.
This is great! I followed this tutorial “experimentally” as I used chenille wool which is why I had to increase the increases for the hat, and reduce the increases for the brim (a lot of try and error 😅). But all in all this video ist great as a guiding line. My hat now looks like a giant upside down ice waffle, ready to be decorated into a hat fitting the witch of Hansel and Gretel and her house made of sweets 😊🎀🍪🧁🍫🍬
Watching people crochet makes my brain hurt, thinking about doing it without a loom seems so daunting. But your voice makes me feel like I can do it and it's OK to mess up and take time to get it. I don't really get what I'm seeing, but I feel like when I follow as you do it I'll be able to get it cuz your instructions are so clear. Thank you for sharing such wonderful tutorials.
Aw that’s such a nice compliment. Thank you. And Yes, you CAN do it! It definitely takes lots of practice and I am not always that calm when I work haha.
I just happened to come across your channel and saw this tutorial on this Witches Hat. I've seen many tutorials on this project, but I have to say that this is by far the cutest one I've ever seen. Well Done 👏
Just started one for my daughter I find it easier to use a marker when doing a half double it helps a lot .thanks for the great pattern God bless stay safe
im almost done with mine! only problem is that its super big and super floppy haha, found out it was using a 5.5 mm rather than your 5 mm lol. and i guess i was doing to too loose, i dont mind it too much, it adds character to me. im a wizard with a extra floppy hat
Me encanta!!❤ está muy bien explicado, gracias a los subtítulos porque no se inglés. Pero el vídeo es muy claro y fácil de entender. Me encanta! Gracias!!🎉
I can't wait to do this! New subscriber here (and I won't skip the ads) so glad I found your channel. Looking through your videos there are many projects I'll be doing! Thank you for sharing your talent and time!
just about done making a white version of this (making a costume of Siffrin from of stars and time!) and im so happy!!!!! if only i had more daily life events to wear a wizard hat for XD
Adorable! I'm making one for my 7 yr old. I'm using thicker yarn and a 5.75 mm hook. For the ridges, I used back post HDC, was easier for me. Love the pattern tho. 💚 Thanks
I hope you don’t mind I share this link with a photo of mine finish product on a Facebook group as I’ve got so many compliments and other crocheters wanted to do this! Thank you so much for this video! I’m off to make 4 more Have a blessed day 💜
For people who found the increasing in whichever stitch kind of awkward: What I ended up doing is this (HDC 9, INC) ×2 then, (HDC 5, INC, HDC 10, INC, HDC 5) for the next round for example. I split my "even" rounds up so the increases were kind of offset if that makes sense :)
@crochet.with.illjay I just added a few rows of the half triple/ half double with increases. and ya my tension might be a pinch tight. my hat is starting to stand perfectly no starch needed. 😀
Pipe cleaners work well for a stiffer brim that you can bend easily. Old school techniques never go out of style. I don’t like to reinvent the wheel. lol.
I LOVE your channel and the videos you make, they are super easy to follow for me as a starter! Do you have any patterns for gloves that dont have fingertips? If you could ever make a video for that I would love to watch it.
Floral crafting wire for the brim perhaps? For each ridge too? Might make the hat more formable? Just some thoughts I am thinking of trying...🤔 Happy Halloween 🎃 Thanks for the cool pattern👍
I don’t have a video for that, but after rnd 1 or 2 just start with another color and work both at the same time. Keep track of which color is on which rounds.
@@crochet.with.illjay ok i forgot. I'm not done, mainly because crocheting with cord is annoying, it's too slippery and tough, but also because your way of crocheting rounds is equally annoying. It's the second time i see someone doing it and it's just as confusing as the first one.
Ok I got up to where you take the hook out and fold it over and now I can't do anything else. I can't find where I'm supposed to start crotcheing again. It doesn't look right to me but I followed your directions perfectly.
I got super confused watching this after coming from the pattern. I jumped to where you are showing row 21 since I couldn't quite understand the pattern, and since the pattern does not say to flip the work inside out, I thought I had lost my mind and crocheted the whole thing backwards! I'm going to see if I can figure it out without having to start over and turning it inside out where you do in the video, but man, that threw me for a loop (pun intended)!
@@crochet.with.illjay I'm also a little confused at 10:44. You say to BLO, but are showing going through two loops. I'm just confused what two loops you're going through? I thought BLO was just the one back loop.
I’ve just finished making this and it’s brilliant , I had to adjust it slightly due to having a big head 😂 but I’m so pleased with it , going to add a dangly spider to the top and a ribbon around the band and I’ll be set for Halloween this year 🐈⬛🧙♀️

Thanks Abbie, nice problem solving!
I'm going to try this pattern after I finish a wip... just to verify you doubled up at the brim and not from the top? Thanks!!!
@abbiedigby7662 did you up the size of your hook when you added the 2nd strand and started on the brim?? This is a brilliant idea!
Excellent! I'm knew to any thing yarn 😊 I'm gonna do this!
For anyone confused about row 21 (when you start doing double crochet in the front loop); you should end up with 30 stitches, not 20.
Thank you! I could not figure out what I did wrong! Truly appreciate your comment!
I found wreath rings at the dollar tree and I used the largest one for the brim of my hat and it worked great!
Oh awesome! I would have never thought of that. Thanks for sharing :)
@@crochet.with.illjay not a problem at all! It was fairly easy to crochet around also! I certainly wish I could show you how it turned out!
weed whacker line also works great.
Interesting!
Wooihooi, ive got that on hand
Thank you it turned out great. Very easy to follow. I only have one problem, how do I get it to stand up without flopping over. I crochet tight and used a worsted weight yarn. Can someone help with this?
@@DeDe1H1 you can always try sizing down a hook size
I used a cardboard circle and then traced a slightly 1/4 inch smaller circle and cut 2 out then glued them together and painted them black which made a perfect brim to crochet around
Awesome! What a great idea, thanks for sharing.
Oh youre the worst how am i supposed to resist making one of these. Subscribed
So nice to learn a pattern without some goofy, obnoxious music in the background!
I can’t stand the tacky background music! Ahah
thank you so much for that @@crochet.with.illjay
I just finished my hat and it’s so flippin cute. I watched the video for the tutorial and it was very easy to follow.

That’s great Nettie! Glad you were able to finish it in time. Thanks for watching .

I made this for my friend who's a witch, I love ot hope she does too. Thanks so much for the tutorial
😂
as a witch I have to admit. I love this! witch hats are the bees knees!

Thank you so much! Are you giving it a try?
Where can I get the written pattern?
I'm on my 3rd hat so far. Everyone wants one! I wish we could share pics here. These hats are just the cutest!✌️💗🧶
How do u get yours to stand up?
I'm a pretty tight crocheter. I haven't had any problem getting them to stand up.
Thanks LadyAndrea! You can share pics with me on Instagram, I would
Love to see! @_illjay__
Try adjusting gauge so that you are working tighter, or go down a hook size. You may need a few more increases if you do this.
@@crochet.with.illjay thank you so much!
I made one of these with black sparkle yarn for a friend and he LOVED it! Now I’m making a rainbow one for myself 😂
Awesome! 🙌🏼
I’m making myself one with black sparkle yarn rn! Seeing wicked on Tuesday 🤭
Just started one for my daughter I find it easier to use a marker when doing a half double it helps a lot .thanks for the great pattern God bless stay safe
Thank you Bonnie!
LOVE the hat!
Thank you! 🧙
Thank you , made one for my daughters witch costume and she loved it❤
Yay! That’s awesome 👏🏼

Thanks for letting me know Lisa ;) enjoy
I hate to admit, I didn’t enjoy making this hat 🤣🤣 but the finished project, I LOVE! ❤
😹I still appreciate this comment
I used the outer ring of a wire wreath! It works a treat. I did have to modify the amount of sc around the brim, but it looks good! Thank you! =)
Awesome, thanks for the feedback!
Awesome! Thanks for the feedback. Can you share with me on IG? @crochet.with.illjay
My great grandchildren just love this hat. I shared this with my friends. Thank you

This can happen as we all work with different tensions. Smart to change hook size, got to adapt at times ;)
Me encanta!!❤ está muy bien explicado, gracias a los subtítulos porque no se inglés. Pero el vídeo es muy claro y fácil de entender. Me encanta! Gracias!!🎉
Gracias!
Wonderful! I'm doing it from Brazil 🇧🇷. Thanks for the tutorial!
Have fun!

Thanks Court! Good job improvising ;)
I wanna make this hat for my nieces since halloween already here, wish me luck, really love the pattern💕💕

Hi Kimberley, I would love if you shared the video. Thank you, and enjoy!
It looks really good!
Thank you! 😉
This is a really cool hat, thank you 😊
Thank you!
Good timing for Halloween 🎃❤
Totally!
This is so great! I'm on my second one.
Fabulous❤
Thank you!
This one was fun to do! I feel like i have a lil bit bigger head cause i had to modify it but I love the finished product
Awesome, thanks Serenity!
I think I might make this with a belt for my Halloween costume!
Let me know how it turns out :)
For people who found the increasing in whichever stitch kind of awkward:
What I ended up doing is this
(HDC 9, INC) ×2
then,
(HDC 5, INC, HDC 10, INC, HDC 5) for the next round for example.
I split my "even" rounds up so the increases were kind of offset if that makes sense :)
Kapitalny, dziękuję 😍
Thank you!
this is lovely I had to adjust it some though because I have a big head.😂
How did you adjust? It may not be your head, your tension might just be tighter than mine.
@crochet.with.illjay I just added a few rows of the half triple/ half double with increases. and ya my tension might be a pinch tight. my hat is starting to stand perfectly no starch needed. 😀
I Love this!! 💜💜💜
Thank you!
Love this.
Thank you!
Hey!! This is awesome!! Any suggestions on making a bigger brim? Like think Gandalf style. Just more rows?
You can go wider on the brim but will probably need to increase a bit more. Maybe 9-10 stitches for each additional round.
@@crochet.with.illjay omg you're awesome thank you so much ❤️
I really wanted a witches hat when I was little and I finally can make it for myself!
Yay! Enjoy Jana, thanks for watching.
Love this! Thank you! Just finished making one for myself 😁🎃👻🧙🏻♀️ Happy Halloween 😁
Awesome, thanks so much. Happy Halloween!
And why has no one ever told me about the counting backwards to get the right stitch like you did on the first row??? thank you
You’re welcome! ;)
Pipe cleaners work well for a stiffer brim that you can bend easily. Old school techniques never go out of style. I don’t like to reinvent the wheel. lol.
Can you see the fuzz between stitches? Would love to see, share with me on IG @crochet.with.illjay
I LOVE your channel and the videos you make, they are super easy to follow for me as a starter! Do you have any patterns for gloves that dont have fingertips? If you could ever make a video for that I would love to watch it.
Thank you Skelrik, I don’t yet but will consider it for this winter season!
Чудесная модель! Спасибо большое!!!
Thank you so very much. 🎉
You are welcome!
Just brought the pattern, maybe maybe, I might have it done by Halloween 😅
Thank you! You can totally get it done in time :)
Thank you for this video!!!!!
Thanks for watching Danyel :-)
Floral crafting wire for the brim perhaps? For each ridge too? Might make the hat more formable? Just some thoughts I am thinking of trying...🤔 Happy Halloween 🎃 Thanks for the cool pattern👍
Thanks Tamyra, crafting wire could definitely work too. It will be more wavy and adjustable I would say.
Thank you for the wonderful tutorial. I'm wanting to do mine in 2 alternating and continuous colors. Do you have a video that can help me?
I don’t have a video for that, but after rnd 1 or 2 just start with another color and work both at the same time. Keep track of which color is on which rounds.
Thanks a lot!!
Me encanta 🤩
Gracias!
Hello. This is excellent!!! Thank you for this! What yarn did you use please?
I love this yarn, color mixed berry
Great video Where do you find poly tubing and connectors?
Hardware store, garden centers, online…it’s 1/4 inch poly tubing
or you could crochet out of polyester cord. it's more sturdy than yarn, so you won't need reinforcements.
Oh good idea!
@@crochet.with.illjay ok i just got the cord, i'll update you in a day or two on the results.
@@crochet.with.illjay ok i forgot. I'm not done, mainly because crocheting with cord is annoying, it's too slippery and tough, but also because your way of crocheting rounds is equally annoying. It's the second time i see someone doing it and it's just as confusing as the first one.
Thank you for the video!
Enjoy :)
Could you use a wire wreath hoop for the brim do you think? I have a few from the dollar store. 🤔
Maybe, try it out!
Ok I got up to where you take the hook out and fold it over and now I can't do anything else. I can't find where I'm supposed to start crotcheing again. It doesn't look right to me but I followed your directions perfectly.
Crocheting while watching your tutorial..😅
Try using a st marker if you struggle to find the place to slip st great hat
Great tip, thank you!
What size poly tubing do you use? Is that 1/4 inch?
Yes
Pipe cleaners do not work. Going to try some of the tips. On the last row and hopefully finished tonight after going through the garage

Thanks Sam! Glad you like the pattern . I’d love to see your version, you can send me pics on Instagram @_illjay__
That's a beautiful hat! 💜
May I ask how much yarn you used for it?^^
About 300 yards, or 200g
Thanks a lot :)
Used 5mm hook and too small. Guess my tension is too tight. May try with bigger hook.
Hi Shaquira, yea try moving up to a 5.5 or 6mm hook is it’s too small.
What are the connectors called for the brim? I have the tube but couldnt find the connectors 😭
Get 1/4” coupling, sometimes called fittings for Poly tubing or irrigation tubing
Super chapeau et super explications ! juste le tube polypro où le trouver et quel diamètre svp ? merci !
Hardware stores or garden supply. 1/4” poly tubing, or 5-6mm
For the very first part, can we work the half double crochet into a magic ring?
Yes
Hey beautiful illJay! Just bought your pattern. What is that brand/colorway of purple (that you're using in the demo) specifically? I LOVE it.
Thanks Elizabeth! The color is mixed berry by I Love This Yarn.
@@crochet.with.illjay Thank you SO much!
What size hook r u using?
5mm
How did u get upper part to bend like that at the end?
I just bent it… 🤔 is yours too stiff?
I can't seem to find the poly tub anywhere can you share link to website I can purchase?
I'm going to make this. How big was the waist on your trousers please.
I am not following what you mean?
