Hedge Witch Hat Pattern How to:

Step 1 – Assemble and cut out the pattern

Gather your materials. Print up the pattern and tape together. You can find instructions on how to assemble the free witch hat pattern here.

Place the brim pattern on the fold of doubled fabric and cut out.

When it’s unfolded this is what it should look like.

Set the brim aside.

Next cut out the cone, We only need one so no need to double the fabric, make sure you unfold it.

Now cut down the cone pattern to the inside lines. This will give us the size for the interfacing.

Cut out 1 of the fusible interfacing.

Now that you have the brim, cone and interfacing cut out we can start assembling the hedge witch hat.

Step 2 – Assemble the cone to the witch hat

Now it’s time to make the cone part of the hat. Iron the interfacing onto the cone.

Make sure it’s well iron on, especially along the outside edges.

Now it’s time to sew the cone for the hedge witch hat together. with right sides together fold the cone in half do the long edges are touching. Sew together using a .5 inch seam allowance.

Step 3 – Add the wire to the cute witch hat

Now that the cone is sewing we need to make a channel for the wire to give the DIY witch hat it’s cute shape.

To make the channel for the wire, we’ll use the seam allowance on the cone we just sewed.

Starting about 2 – 3 inches from the bottom, take one side of the seam allowance hand sew the seam down, leaving space for the wire.

It doesn’t need to be fancy you can do a basic running stich, a whip stich or i chose to do a blanket stitch. Because it’s a cone, hand stitching is easiest.

Stitch up and through the cone ( making sure it’s just one side)

, catch a little of the side seam, wrap the thread around the needle and pull though.

and pull though.

Repeat until you’ve reach 1 – 2 inches from the top and tie off.

Cut you wire to the length of the cone and make sure to have excess of 1 inch on each end.

Thread through the channel.

Thread so the top and bottom have excess.

Once it’s threaded fold over at the top and bottom so it’s won’t become unthreaded. If you’re worried about the wire bugging you sew or glue some scrap felt to the end closest to the brim.

Now that the wire is in place it’s time to turn the cone right side out.

Turn right side out and use a capped pen to help fully turn the point.

Step 4 – finish sewing the witch hat!

Now it’s time to finish up the hat!

Take the brim and pin it to the bottom of the cone. Sew on using a .5 inch seam allowance.

Now that the brim’s sewn on you can add a cute label (like this one) to your hat!

Step 5 – Add Finishing touches and shape the hedge witch hat

Now the fun part! Trim you threads and start to shape you hat. Make the side seam of the cone, the side of the hat curves in.

Take you time shaping your hat. To help you hat top not look flat, stuff the plastic grocery bags in the top to help give it some body. I found that it can help wearing the hat while you’re shaping it to give it just the look you want. I like how it looked on it’s own, but of course you can add ribbon, flowers, fake spiders, whatever you want to your witch hat!
