Owl Experience Level: one OWL (beginner)
Sizes:
Child 19” head circumference
Adult 22” head circumference
If directions differ, Adult size will be in parentheses.
Finished measurements: measured pressed flat.
CHILD:
Before felting: 19” wide (at widest part of brim) x 27” high.
After felting: 12” wide (at widest part of brim) x 17” high.
ADULT:
Before felting: 24” wide (at widest part of brim) x 33” high.
After felting: 15” wide (at widest part of brim) x 22” high.
Yarns used: Worsted weight wool such as:
Cascade 220, 100 g - 220 yds - 200 m, 100% Peruvian Highland Wool.
MC: BLACK color # 8555 - 2 skeins
NOTE: hat is felted in the washing machine so be sure to get something that is 100% wool or other animal fiber. (Though please note that other animal fibers will felt differently.)
Tension/gauge:
Before felting: Work 16 sts and 20 rows to measure 4x4”
in St stitch using US 10 or 6 mm needles.
After felting, work will shrink down to about 20 sts & 24 rows in 4x4”. Use needles necessary to get gauge.
Notions:
A pair of US 10 (6 mm) circular needles 24” long,
A set of US 10 (6 mm) dpns,
stitch markers, tapestry needle. Optional: enough wire to go around the outer brim of hat. The hat doesn’t need to be wired. The first picture in pattern shows hat wired, the second pic shows not wired. If you go for the wired option get a needle & matching thread too. (The wire is simply whipstitched along the top edge of the brim.)
Tiny owl stitch dictionary:
dpns: double pointed needles
i-cord: knit sts. Don’t turn work. Slide work down to other end of dpn. Bring yarn around back and knit sts again.
k: knit
k2tog: knit the next two stitches together.
MC: main color
pm: place marker
St st: stockinette/stocking stitch. k a row, purl a row.
st(s): stitch(es)
(WS): wrong side
The brim is quite floppy, so to finish and make it lie better when worn, I threaded thin wire (for jewelry making) through the very edge of the hat.
As you work on your witch hat, be sure to check your gauge and adjust your needle size if necessary. This will help ensure that your hat turns out the right size and shape. Remember, every knitter's gauge can vary slightly, so it's always a good idea to check and make any necessary adjustments along the way. Once you've finished knitting your witch hat, you can add any extra embellishments or decorations to personalize it further. This could include adding a crocheted or knitted flower, attaching a ribbon or bow, or even sewing on some beads or sequins. The possibilities are endless, so don't be afraid to get creative and make your hat truly unique! Overall, knitting a witch hat can be a fun and rewarding project for knitters of all skill levels. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced knitter, there are plenty of patterns available to suit your needs. So why not give it a try and knit yourself a stylish and witchy accessory? Happy knitting!.

I was really disappointed with this knit witch hat pattern. The instructions were very confusing and poorly written. I consider myself an experienced knitter, but I struggled to follow along. The pattern lacked proper explanations and didn't provide enough guidance for beginners. I ended up making several mistakes and had to start over multiple times. Overall, I found it to be a frustrating and time-consuming experience.

I had high hopes for this knit witch hat pattern, but it fell short of my expectations. The design itself is nice, but the instructions were not well organized. There were inconsistencies throughout the pattern, which made it difficult to follow. Additionally, some key steps were missing, and I had to rely on my own knitting knowledge to complete the hat. I wouldn't recommend this pattern to beginners or anyone looking for clear and concise instructions.

I regret trying this knit witch hat pattern. The finished product did not turn out as expected at all. The measurements provided in the pattern were completely off, and the hat ended up being too small for my head. The sizing chart was misleading and did not match the actual dimensions of the hat. I wasted my time and yarn on this project, and I'm extremely disappointed with the outcome. I would not recommend this pattern to anyone.

I found this knit witch hat pattern to be frustrating and challenging. The instructions were difficult to understand, and the pattern itself was poorly formatted. There were typos and errors in the pattern, which made it even more confusing to follow along. The lack of clear diagrams or visuals made it hard to visualize the steps. Overall, the pattern needs significant improvements in terms of clarity and accuracy. I would not recommend it to others unless they are extremely experienced and patient knitters.
