Melissa Wildes sent me two ADORABLE Halloween modifications to my Candy Corn Hat! Check out the directions and photos below for a WITCH and a GHOST hat!
"This first is a witch, which I worked by using black through row 6, then changing to green, and working through row twelve, and finish off. Using black, ch 4 and slip stitch together, ch one and 6 sc in the ring leaving a length to sew it on (make 2 - these are the eyes). Then chain 15 and beginning in the second chain from the hook, slip stitch 14 times, finish off and leave a length to sew it on (this is the mouth). Then I went back and worked a row of slip stitches around the base of the black, the a row of DC. On the brim around the base of the black, I was working 2 dcs in each stitch, finish off and weave in ends!"
"Then I worked this one with just white through row 12, finish off, and make 2 eyes, by chain 4, then 6 sc in the ring, attach to hat, and then make a larger circle of black, or a smile for mouth and you have a little ghost hat!" Thanks, Melissa, for your cute adaptations!!

This sooo cute and sooo on time. My daughter is expecting her first baby on Oct. 30, 2011. Even if the baby is a week late this will still be perfect!
ReplyDeleteThank you for such cute and easy patterns. I made these and the pumpkin hat in 2010 for the NICU. They were a big hit. I used smaller needles to get the correct size. I just whipped up a pumpkin and candy corn hat for a new granddaughter due Oct. 19 ,2012.
