Still need a costume for this year’s festivities? We’ve got ya covered! Whip up this adorable witch’s hat-on-a-headband for your child or yourself! This quick project uses only a small amount of worsted weight yarn- you probably already have enough in your stash already. This hat is easy to customize; change the color, add a sparkly buckle or a star-shaped button, or maybe sew on some feathers. You can even stitch on a birdcage netting veil for a little witchy drama- I promise this is easy! Be sure to watch the live tutorial for helpful tips!
