![]() Since this is in a traditional style, I’m keeping it simple and calling it the Witch Hat □ Witch Hat This pattern was started just from a love of making witch hats – I happen to have another similar hat pattern for free, the Hedge Witch Hat, available on my blog on in PDF format! This time, though, I wanted something taller and pointier, something really traditionally witchy, with a structured brim and a severe point. Tiffany’s ambitions to become a witch are helped by her tiny, drunk, warlike pictsie friends the Nac Mac Feegle, and her adventures are chronicled through the 5 book series which Pratchett completed just before he died in 2015. Tiffany is a young heroine from Pratchett’s YA Discworld series who runs the dairy on her shepherding family’s farm, which she is driven to defend (with a frying pan) when the Queen of the Otherworld crosses over and steals her little brother.

The graphic novels are great too, I have most of them! Pictured here in the free pattern for the Teddy Bea r Onesie <3 His combination of comedic fantasy and humanitarian social commentary hooked me immediately and I’ve been reading and re-reading his books ever since. If you don’t, it’s hard to explain! With 40+ Discworld novels spanning a lifetime writing career, British fantasy author Terry Pratchett first appeared on my bookshelf when I was an adolescent.

I’ve made Video Game Guys and Coralines and Pikachus for friends that may or may not ever make it on to the blog, and I’ve become fixated on and then subsequently grown out of a number of fandoms myself. Bend the tip of the hat, if desired.Fandoms come and go for me. STEP 5: Slide the brim down over your cone to complete the hat.

STEP 3: Insert a toothpick into your cupcake and place your cone on top of the toothpick. If your liner is now a flat triangle due to folding, fluff it up with your finger so that it makes a cone. Now you should have a tall skinny wedge that is 1/8 the size of your original circle. Tape the two flaps together using double sided tape, so that you have one solid triangle. Fold in half again, creating a pie-like wedge. STEP 1: Grab a regular sized cupcake liner. So break out your scissors, extra baking liners and let’s get started!
