Pattern Walkthrough: From the First Round to the Final Finish
The pattern starts by forming a flat circular brim with purple yarn. A Magic Ring creates the center, followed by increase rounds that shape the brim before the final round is worked through the back loops only to prepare for the hat body.
Next, the cone is crocheted into the front loops left from the brim. Single crochet rounds and gradual decreases shape the pointed top until the opening is closed neatly and the yarn tail is secured.
To complete the hat, a separate green chain is made for the decorative band. It is wrapped around the base and sewn or glued into place, and the finished hat can then be attached to an amigurumi figure or used as a miniature Halloween decoration.
