How to adjust the size of this free witch hat crochet pattern
Step 1
Follow the pattern for the adult hat until the pointed section fits, ensuring that the stitch count divides by six e.g. 42sts, 48sts, 54sts (to make a larger hat keep increasing in a similar manner until it fits).
Step 2
Work 4 more rounds without increasing (for a taller hat work in rounds until you reach the required height).
Step 3
When adding the brim just remember to increase the number of sts on each round by six.
For example, if you have 54sts on the pointed section you will need to increase to 60sts on the next round for the brim and 66sts on the next, etc.
You can make the brim as big or as small as you like by increasing in a similar manner until you reach the required size.
