Witch Hat Amigurumi Pattern

Happy Halloween!

Did you know that witches are my favorite characters?

One of the first amigurumi patterns that I have done is a little witch and I am so fond of her that I still use her image as an avatar.

You will have noticed that a witch also appears on my logo.

But what is the relationship between witches and Halloween?

Legend has it that the witches met on October 31 called by the Devil to welcome a new year of witchcraft, since at that time their powers were at their highest level. In addition, the magic and powers of the witches relate them directly to the Celtic druids, whose culture gave rise to the “night of witches” or “noite meiga”

Here in my land, Galicia, we call them “meigas”. Surely you’ve heard the expression “Meigas gallegas … haberlas hailas” (Galician witches, there are)

The word “Meiga” means magician and although they are witches, according to the legend, many of them have a kinder character and different magical powers to do good as healing, clairvoyance, divination or the faculty of attending the petitions of the humble people with problems.

As a tribute to the “meigas” and to celebrate Halloween, I bring you the pattern of a witch hat that you can turn into an original lucky keychain.

Happy and magical crochet!
