Witch Hat Pumpkin Stencils

Witch hat pumpkin stencils centre on the tall, bent-tip hat with its wide brim, sometimes with a buckle, a spider, or a moon behind it. Simple outlines make them one of the fastest Halloween shapes to carve.

Carving guide

How to carve a witch hat pumpkin stencil

The hat is usually one opening. Cut the brim as a long shallow curve, then the cone up to the bent tip, and finish the tip with a knife. If the design has a buckle or band, leave it as an uncut strip across the hat and scrape it so it stands out.

Witch hat pumpkins line a walk nicely, each with the tip bent a different way. Top a real witch hat on the pumpkin next to it for a joke.
