Knit Susie Johns' clever wizard hat storage pot in our two-part wizard themed set

Whether you’re looking to store your haul of Halloween treats, or make themed gifts for a wizard fan, this clever pattern is just the thing. The hat is shaped using standard decreases, then pinched and stitched during making up to create the folds. The glasses are made from craft wire. Complete the set next week with our owl container - what a hoot!
