Since I didn't plan on making a full size, wearable hat, I used "A Mini Witch's Hat" pattern that I found HERE. But when I printed it out, it was about pincushion size and that's not what I had in mind either. In the end I opted to make the hat a little larger and just have a fun decorative item to display. The finished hat is 9 1/2 " tall by 9" across.
I did have to do some tweaking to the pattern as I was putting it together. And I chose to substitute some of the materials to suit my purposes. As such, if you decide to try your hand at making one of these lovely little hats, I would suggest doing a practice run before you actually begin your masterpiece. Do-overs can be frustrating and disappointing!
So, without further adieu.............drum roll please.............
My finished Witch's Hat -
Thanks for visiting and please be sure to let me know if you decide to make a Witch's Hat of your own. I would love to see your photos, too.
Until Next time...Happy Needling!!!

oh my gosh! I love it! You are just so talented. I do not have that kind of talent.
How cute, Gerry! What did you use around the outside rim? That hat would make for one very well-dressed witch!
Gerry this is wonderful. right away I wanted to make one for me and one for my daughter. You can't keep us crazy quilters away from anything.

What a great project! You might think of opening haberdashery or millinery shoppes! Speaking of, are you familiar with
http://tdiptmercantile.com/artisanpage.html ? I think of you when I go there. Hope all is well on your side!
Gorgeous Gerry! I have a pattern for a big one but have not even attempted it yet.
You are all so very sweet! I had fun with this project. I would love to see your hats, if you decide to try one.
This is toooo cute! You are so clever - love the Black Hat Society! And we know how you love Halloween, so I expect to see a CQ’ed witch next year, LOL! Hugs, Cathy
Boy, I'm gonna have to think about that one. LOL. A CQ'd witch sounds a little complicated. How 'bout you make one first and let me borrow the pattern?
See you soon!
