    This Spider Pumpkin Hat is a free crochet pattern and ideal for a quick costume idea for Halloween. It’s fun and easy to make. I have included several video tutorials to help along the way.

    Do you like Halloween, but don’t really want to dress up? I’m a home sweet home girl and rather be in my PJ’s than dress up for Halloween or a party. So crocheting a quick and fun Halloween Hat is my go-to decision.

    The spider pom poms on each corner of the hat plus the Jack-o-lantern face make the whole costume complete.

    In fact, you could even use glow in the dark yarn, glitter foam or googly eyes to make the Spider Pumpkin Hat extra spooky and special for Halloween.

    But now I’m curious, who will you make this cute and fun Halloween hat for? Yourself? You child? Your spouse? Or as a gag gift for a friend?

    I will wear mine on Halloween if my hubby doesn’t steal it for me. In the end, it was his idea for me to make it.

    Instructions for Spider Pumpkin Hat:

    First, it is important to know that this pattern is written for an adult size head. But if you would like to change the pattern for a different head size it is actually easily done using this tutorial.

    First, you’ll crochet the ribbing. This pattern can be crocheted with a fold-over ribbing. If you prefer to make it fold over, you will need to double the amount of chains you crochet.

    Measure out the head circumference of the person you are making the hat for, so you know how long the ribbing needs to be before making it into a circle. You can find a reference table here for head circumferences for different head sizes. If you need help with the ribbing, I have a video tutorial here.

    With color A, ch 8

    R1: starting from the 2nd ch from the hook, 1 sc in each ch, turn

    R2: 1 sc in blo in each st, turn

    Repeat R2 until you reach the size of the head circumference you’re making the hat for. For an adult hat, that is 56 rows.

    Fold the ribbing in half and sl st the first and last row together.

    R1: Now you evenly crochet hdc around the edge of the ribbing to make the hat. For an adult hat you would crochet 60 hdc’s.

    R2: 1 hdc in 3rd loop behind the V in each stitch (tutorial is here)

    You now crochet in continuous rounds for 18 rounds.

    Remember to use this reference table for different head sizes.

    Once you are finished, use your tapestry needle to sew the top together using the mattress stitch to make the hat square.

    Now you can add a Jack-O-Lantern face on using the glitter foam.

    To make the Spider Pom Poms, please follow this easy tutorial to add the googly eyes and the pipe cleaners.

    Once you are finished you can wear the hat, scare people during Halloween or just have fun on dress-up day.
