The “GLINDA” hat - a frightfully fun witch hat

Paired with a black onesie it makes the perfect infant First-Halloween costume. Pair it with a black dance leotard and tights for toddlers, or a black cape for yourself!
Knit in the round with a ruffled edge, the orange i-cord is knit separately and added later. We recommend using a stiffer yarn, such as cotton, and needles a size or 2 smaller than the yarn label suggests to get the hat to stand up without flopping.
