Pattern Instructions
Part 1: Witch Hat
- Magic Ring: Start with a magic ring. Chain 1 to secure it.
- Round 1: Create 4 single crochets into the magic ring. Pull the tail of the yarn to tighten the ring.
- Round 2: Make an increase in each stitch (2 single crochets per stitch). Use a stitch marker to mark the beginning of the round.
- Round 3: Work 1 single crochet into each stitch (no increases).
- Round 4: Alternate 1 single crochet and 1 increase (repeat this pattern until the end of the round).
- Round 5: Work 1 single crochet into each stitch for the entire round.
- Round 6: Alternate 1 single crochet with 1 increase, just like in Round 4.
- Round 7: Work 1 single crochet into each stitch again. Before finishing the round, change the yarn color to black (for the strap of the hat).
- Round 8: With black yarn, alternate 2 single crochets and 1 increase (repeat this pattern until the end). After finishing, switch back to the original color, cutting the black yarn and securing it with a double knot.
- Round 9: Work 1 single crochet into each stitch using the original yarn color.
- Round 10: Use the front loop only to alternate 3 single crochets and 1 increase.
- Round 11: Alternate 4 single crochets and 1 increase using the front loop only. Finish and weave in the ends. The witch hat is complete!
Part 2: Pumpkin
- Join Orange Yarn: Attach the orange yarn to the back loop of Round 10. Secure the yarn with a slip knot and chain once.
- Round 12: Work single crochets into each stitch across the back loop, filling the round.
- Round 13: Alternate 4 single crochets, 1 increase, and 1 slip stitch (repeat this pattern until the end of the round).
- Rounds 14–18: Alternate 6 single crochets and 1 slip stitch for each round.
- Add Safety Eyes: Attach safety eyes between Rounds 15 and 16.
- Stuff the Pumpkin: Insert fiberfill stuffing into the pumpkin, ensuring it takes on a nice rounded shape.
Finishing the Pumpkin
- Round 19: Alternate 4 single crochets, 1 decrease, and 1 slip stitch for the entire round.
- Round 20: Alternate 3 single crochets, 1 decrease, and 1 slip stitch.
- Round 21: Alternate 2 single crochets, 1 decrease, and 1 slip stitch.
- Last Round: Alternate 1 single crochet, 1 decrease, and 1 slip stitch. At the end of this round, close the bottom by weaving the yarn through the front loops of the remaining stitches. Pull gently to close the gap, and secure the yarn.
Add Final Touches
- Embroider Mouth: Use black yarn to create a smile or other facial expressions for your pumpkin. You can be creative with spooky or cute designs!
