Wednesday Addams Hat

The other day I was thinking about how much I always love to make Halloweeny hats for all of my kids each year. The older kiddos aren’t as keen on this tradition these days and for the cooler days ahead they opted to have plainer, more neutral colored hats from mom. The youngest, however, is just starting to learn about how amazing and fun the chilly October days are! This kid loves to wear hats and has accepted any and all thrown her way. And so on the Wednesday before Halloween, what better hat came to mind than an actual Wednesday Addams hat! I came SO close to making that her costume, but at the last minute changed my mind. There’s always next year though, and we’ll be ready with this fun hat! For now, it matches perfectly one her Wednesday Addams onesie 🙂

Braids

For each hat’s braids you will cut 18 strands of yarn around 40-48 inches in length (depends on how long you’d like the braid to be, I always add a bit extra and cut later to even it out). You can attach all 18 pieces to the sides of the hat. I try to fold over all of the strands together and use my crochet hook to attach them to the side of the hat. After this you will collectively have 36 strands to braid. Separate into even parts of 12 and braid together. Repeat for the opposite side.
