Halloween Witch Hat

A pointed hat with a knit-in belt and buckle, in black, white, or purple. Built on the same base as the roll-brim.

Wizard Hat

Purple and yellow, tapering to a point — a fun quick knit for a monkey headed to a costume party.

Good to know

Resizing is the same trick every time

Every hat pattern on this page shares the same decrease structure — only the starting stitch count and colors change. Once you've knit one, resizing the rest for a bigger or smaller head is mostly a matter of adjusting your cast-on.

Dress the monkey
