Materials Needed

• Yarn: Bulky weight yarn in navy blue, white, and burgundy
• Hook: 6.5 mm (K) crochet hook
• Gauge: 12 stitches = 4 inches in double crochet
• Scissors: For cutting yarn
• Tapestry needle: For weaving in ends

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Start with a magic ring. This will be the foundation of your hat. To create a magic ring, wrap the yarn around your fingers to form a loop, then pull a loop of yarn through the center of the ring.
2. Round 1: Work 6 single crochets (sc) into the magic ring. Pull the tail of the yarn to tighten the ring.
3. Round 2: Increase by working 2 sc in each stitch around. You should have 12 stitches at the end of this round.
4. Round 3: *1 sc in the next stitch, 2 sc in the following stitch.* Repeat this pattern around. You will have 18 stitches at the end of this round.
5. Round 4: *2 sc in the next stitch, 2 sc in the following stitch.* Repeat this pattern around. You will have 24 stitches at the end of this round.
6. Rounds 5-10: Work evenly in single crochet (sc) for 6 rounds. Do not increase or decrease; simply work 24 sc in each round.
7. Round 11: *3 sc in the next stitch, 2 sc in the following stitch.* Repeat this pattern around. You will have 30 stitches at the end of this round.
8. Rounds 12-15: Work evenly in sc for 4 rounds. Continue to maintain 30 stitches in each round.
9. Round 16: Begin decreasing: *3 sc in the next stitch, sc2tog (single crochet two together).* Repeat this pattern around. You will have 24 stitches at the end of this round.
10. Round 17: *2 sc in the next stitch, sc2tog.* Repeat this pattern around. You will have 18 stitches at the end of this round.
11. Round 18: *1 sc in the next stitch, sc2tog.* Repeat this pattern around. You will have 12 stitches at the end of this round.
12. Round 19: Work sc2tog around until you have 6 stitches left. This will close the top of the hat.
13. Fasten off and weave in any loose ends using a tapestry needle.
14. For the brim: Attach your yarn to the bottom edge of the hat. Work in double crochet (dc) for the desired width of the brim. Make sure to keep your stitches even for a neat finish.
15. Finish with a white lace trim: After completing the brim, add a decorative white lace trim around the edge to enhance the whimsical look of your hat.
16. Create a twisted handle: Chain 20 and attach it to the top of the hat. This will serve as a handle and add an extra touch of charm to your creation.

Now you have your very own crocheted spiraled witch hat! Enjoy wearing it for Halloween or any fun occasion. Happy crocheting!
