Midwinter Candle Quilted Witch Hat – Yule Solstice Holly Brim Hat

A sun face and a moon face in one gold medallion, over a candle that never goes out

The front of the cone carries a gold medallion in which a sun face and a crescent moon face share one disc inside a radiant sunburst ring. Below it a tall ivory pillar candle burns at the brim line, banked with fir sprigs, holly and red berries, white mistletoe berries and a pinecone. Gold stars, snowflakes and small crescents fill the burgundy and green panels above.

The brim alternates burgundy, forest green and black wedges. Most hold a lit ivory candle in a nest of holly, fir and red and white berries; the black wedges between them carry a gold eight-point star, a white snowflake, a short row of moon phases and clear quartz points, with the gold quilting lines running out to the bound black edge.

For the solstice host who lights the candles at dusk and keeps them going until the longest night is over. The wide brim holds the printed candles in view across a table, at a Yule dinner or a Pagan ritual circle.

• Material: quilted polyester with a padded, stitched texture that holds the cone upright instead of flopping
• Size: one size — brim about 17.5 in (44.5 cm) across, cone about 13 in (33 cm) tall
• All over print: printed on the outside of the cone and both sides of the brim, so the pattern shows whether the brim sits flat or turns up
• Care: spot clean with a damp cloth and let it air dry; do not machine wash or the quilting loses its shape
• Note: made to order. Print placement can shift slightly, seams can move by 2–3 cm, and colours read a little deeper on fabric than on screen
