There’s nothing quite like a little handmade Halloween decor — especially when it uses yarn you already have in your stash!
My Wicked Witch Hat Bunting crochet pattern is a fun way to turn small crochet witch hats into Halloween garland, ornaments, table decorations and more. Make them in classic black and orange, mix in purple and green, or pull together your favorite spooky color combination.
I love how many ways you can use these little hats. String several together for a mantel or shelf, hang them individually, or add them to your Halloween decorating wherever you need a little extra witchy charm.
And if you prefer an easy-to-print version, you can also grab the premium ad-free PDF in my Etsy or Ravelry shop.

Inspiration Behind the Wicked Witch Hat Bunting
Some crochet designs begin with a big plan — and some just happen while I’m playing with yarn.
These little witch hats were one of those happy accidents!
The idea grew from the crochet stems I designed for my Mini Country Pumpkin and Spicewood Pumpkin patterns. With a few changes, that familiar little shape suddenly looked much more like a witch hat than a pumpkin stem.
And once I made one, of course I needed several.
The finished hats are fun on their own, but stringing them together turns them into such a cute piece of Halloween decor. Plus, changing the hat and bow colors gives every bunting a completely different personality.
If fall crochet is calling your name, you can also browse my cozy crochet pumpkin patterns for even more seasonal projects.
Wicked Witch Hat Bunting Design Details
The Wicked Witch Hat Bunting pattern is designed using any #4 worsted weight yarn and a 5.00 mm (H) crochet hook. You also need a yarn needle to weave a strand of yarn around the brim for the cute little bow.
This crochet pattern is completely customizable with the endless color options to the many different uses of the hats. They even make the most adorable earrings!!
The hats are made in one piece by crocheting the top of the hat in rows with a variation of basic stitches. Then you single crochet the brim in the round.
One of my favorite things about this design is how easy it is to change the look just by switching colors. Traditional Halloween shades are always fun, but these little hats are also a great excuse to use small amounts of leftover yarn from your stash.
You can keep the entire bunting coordinated or give every witch hat its own color combination.
