Check out the Haunted House Hat kits from Miss Babs HERE & HERE!

Are you looking for a quick Halloween knit? There are frights and delights lurking around every corner of the HAUNTED HOUSE hat. This little hat is a fast, fun Halloween treat!

Designed as a companion pattern to the Haunted House cowl, it is also a great stand-alone accessory. It is knit seamlessly from the bottom up in the round using stranded colorwork.

This pattern features two possible crowns: a POISON crown (for lovers of skulls and skeletons) and a PUMPKIN crown (in case you need more jack-o-lanterns in your life!). The pattern includes full color and grayscale charts.

NOTE: Colorwork charts do not include written instructions.
