Are you excited for Halloween? I love Halloween. It’s so much fun with all the costumes and trick or treating!
Last year I wanted to dress up without doing the whole costume thing so I made myself this cute black and orange spiral hat. It worked out great for wearing through October and to Halloween festivities.
The hat was very easy to make and, since it’s a spiral with two continuous threads of yarn, there’s minimal ends to weave. Yay!
If you would prefer a downloadable, printable PDF copy of this pattern without the ads, you can purchase it HERE for a small fee.
After I’d finished making the hat I decided it needed a little decoration so I made a flower and sewed it on. The pattern for the flower, including video tutorial can be found HERE.
If you’d like a spider instead of the flower. Find the pattern for that HERE.
Also, be sure to check out my child’s Halloween costume pattern HERE.
