The Crochetverse twisted witch hat is a unique and eye-catching accessory that adds a touch of whimsy to any outfit. Handcrafted with care, this hat is made using the crochet technique, which involves creating intricate patterns and designs using yarn and a crochet hook. One of the distinguishing features of the Crochetverse twisted witch hat is its twisted design. The hat is constructed using a twisted rib stitch, which gives it a slightly asymmetrical and playful look. The twisted rib stitch also adds to the hat's texture and brings out the subtle variations in the yarn. The hat is designed to sit comfortably on the head and has a brim that can be adjusted to fit different head sizes.
Andres is an upside-down Flyer who floats. Weighted backpacks help him stay closer to his classmates. They immediately conjured images of the weighted vests used by occupational therapists. People who have experience with occupational therapy may also recognize the UDM teacher’s emphasis on movement exercises to channel physical control and emotions.
I knew my daughter would want to read Upside-Down Magic by Sarah Mlynowski, Lauren Myracle, and Emily Jenkins as soon as I saw the big-eyed kitten with dragon wings on the cover. Luckily for Nory, her father is the headmaster of the best magic school around Sage Academy and her older brother and sister always ace their magic classes.
The hat is designed to sit comfortably on the head and has a brim that can be adjusted to fit different head sizes. The brim can be folded up for a more traditional witch hat look or left down for a more casual and relaxed style. The Crochetverse twisted witch hat is available in a variety of colors and yarn types, allowing every wearer to find a hat that suits their personal style.
Book Review: “Upside Down Magic” by Sarah Mlynowski, Lauren Myracle, & Emily Jenkins
In the world of Upside Down Magic, all children begin their magical training in the fifth grade. Luckily for Nory, her father is the headmaster of the best magic school around – Sage Academy – and her older brother and sister always ace their magic classes. Unluckily for Nory, her out-of-control magic means that she flunks the entrance exam for Sage Academy, and instead has to attend a special class at public school for students whose magic is a little…wonky.
But they prefer the term “upside down” – “wonky” is a little rude. Soon Nory finds herself in a classroom full of students whose magic doesn’t work quite the way it’s supposed to. Andres is supposed to be able to fly…but he isn’t able to come down. Pepper is supposed to be able to charm animals…but they’re all terrified of her. Elliot is supposed to be able to set things on fire…but he can also cause them to freeze. Nory can change into different animals, but instead of transforming into normal ones, like a kitten, she always ends up as something odd – like a dragon-kitten-beaver. Can Nory and the other students accept that “different” doesn’t mean bad?
This Early Reader/Middle Grade novel takes the typical format of a school days series (like Ramona or Diary of a Wimpy Kid) and gives it a fun little twist with the often amusing magic that Nory and her friends can work. For young readers who are fantasy enthusiasts, eagerly reading J.K. Rowling and Rick Riordan, Upside Down Magic is likely going to be disappointing, as the story focuses more on Nory’s self-acceptance and classroom experiences (making friends, being bullied, etc) than actual magic.
However, that just might make this the perfect read for kids who aren’t interested in exploring fantastical worlds, but prefer to stay a little closer to home. The magic in this book has the benefit of being kind of absurd, sure to get laughs out of its readers, and I appreciated the diverse cast of characters in the Upside Down Magic (UDM) classroom – although it’s a shame that Nory, who’s of mixed heritage, only appears in kitten-dragon form on the cover of the book.
Two moments in this book really stood out to me. The first is when Nory is first introduced to Elliot, a neighbor and fellow UDM student and, in the honest way of children, he asks her why she’s black if her aunt is white. Though this experience is a well-worn one for most mixed kids, it’s not an issue that appears in too many children’s books. I appreciated this moment of realness, present as part of Nory’s experience but not the main focus of the book.
The next moment comes a little later on, in a speech from Principal Gonzalez: “I will not tolerate bigotry. I will not tolerate unkindness about race, gender, orientation, family background, religion, weight, magical abilities, favorite candy, or anything else that distinguishes one person from another. Not here at Dunwiddle Magic School.” Okay, yes, this is a bit didactic for more seasoned readers, as blatantly put as a Berenstain Bears book about why stealing is wrong. But it’s a message that kids need to hear, one that should be as frequent and tired a message in children’s books as learning to share. That list of attributes – and that big word for young kids, “bigotry” – are ones that children should be familiar and comfortable with so that we can start training a generation to be more loving and accepting than our own.
A copy of this book was provided by the publisher for review.
A UDM student whose anxiety manifests as indoor storms reminds me of a friend whose daughter struggled with crushing anxiety when she started school.

Reviews for "Upgrade Your Witch Costume with a Handmade Crochetverse Twisted Witch Hat"
1. Jane - 2 stars - I was disappointed with the Crochetverse twisted witch hat. The quality was not up to par with what I expected. The yarn used was fraying and it looked like it wouldn't hold up well with use. Additionally, the hat did not fit properly on my head and felt awkward to wear. Overall, I was not satisfied with this purchase and would not recommend it.
2. Mark - 1 star - The Crochetverse twisted witch hat was a complete letdown for me. The design looked cute in the pictures, but in reality, it just looked cheaply made. The stitching was uneven, and the hat did not hold its shape well. The colors were dull and not vibrant like I expected. I ended up returning it and getting a different hat from a different brand.
3. Sarah - 2 stars - I had high hopes for the Crochetverse twisted witch hat, but unfortunately, it didn't live up to my expectations. The hat arrived with loose threads sticking out, and the fabric felt itchy against my skin. Moreover, the shape of the hat was odd, and it didn't sit well on my head. It also didn't provide much warmth, which was disappointing. I would not recommend this hat for its poor quality and fit.
4. Mike - 3 stars - I was not entirely satisfied with the Crochetverse twisted witch hat. While the design was unique, the size options didn't work well for my head. The small was too tight, and the medium was too loose. The hat's construction seemed flimsy, and I had concerns about its durability. It's an okay hat, but for the price, I expected better quality and a better fit.
5. Emily - 2 stars - Unfortunately, the Crochetverse twisted witch hat did not meet my expectations. The colors were not as vibrant as they appeared in the photos, and the hat had a weird chemical smell when I received it. The fit was also off, as it felt too tight around my forehead and too loose around the brim. It's a cute design, but the execution fell short, and I wouldn't purchase it again.
