Newborn Wizard Hat crochet pattern - Inspired by Harry Potter

As I made this hat I could hear "You're a Wizard Harry" in my head lol

Our family enjoyed reading the Harry Potter Books and watching the movies together, so it was a natural progression to welcome my grandson Jayce with his own 1st year wizard hat <3

Hagrid whispering: You're a wizard Jayce!

Materials:

Black ww yarn - I used Red Heart Super Saver

G hook

large eye needle to weave in ends

Abbreviations:

Mr: magic ring

sc: singlecrochet

Notes:

If pattern reads "sc, sc2tog, 2sc" it would be read as, " single crochet, single crochet 2 stitches together, 2 single crochet in the next stitch", directions are to be repeated to end of row/round unless otherwise noted.
This is an original design by me, Anna Wilson, and I share it freely with all you crafty crocheters!  You may do whatever you like with your finished Wizard hats: sell them at farmer's markets, use them, gift them, fly on your Nimbus 2000 with them or go to a Quidditch game with them!!
