Again thank you everyone for your input and ideas, they helped a lot. We're all new to PF (to TTRPG's actually), this was my first post on the forum, it's really cool to see so many people taking their time to comment, and help put :D
I decided to have the party face a Lv4 green hag (considering that we are all new an inexperienced it would be better to postpone severe level fights for later, and I want to spend a bit more time creating characters using the rules in the GM book to get a feel for it). Because of green hags Change shape. The fight will take place inside a house at the outskirts of town where the Green hag is pretending to be human. After defeating her the players will find out that she was just a pawn of the the witch (final boss), giving the players an idea of what is waiting for them at the end.

For some examples, if the party is level 6 and there are 4 players:

Not disagreeing with your example, just trying to make it more relevant. The OP states that the party is 4xL2. So:

1. A solo boss fight witch should be a L5 (built using the monster rules).

2. A boss with two lackeys would be a L3 witch and 2x L1 lackeys (again, all built using the monster rules).

Also note this is for a severe encounter, so these level antagonists would be appropriate for a fight where you think the party will have most or all of their resources avaliable to start and will be able to rest a bit before their next one after this. If the encounter you are designing is one combat in a running no-break series, I might consider going with something less difficult.

So to make my life easier I could just have them fight an elite green hag (lv5) or a regular lv4 green hag + lv1 lackey

Thanks a lot everyone for the replies, I appreciate it

I have a group of 4 players (lv2) that will be fighting a witch I made.
I am not sure what level the witch should be and I haven't found any advice in the rules as to what would be optimal, or how to calculate the threat level in this case
My dilemma is beteeen lv4 and lv5
At lv4 the witch has an AC19 and 26HP I fear she may be too fragile and will be taken out pretty quickly.
At lv5 she has AC21 and 36HP but also access to 3rd level spells, I'm afraid the PC's will drop like flies.
In this case it doesn't matter who wins as I have plans for either scenario.

But even as a GM I like creating characters of my own, and my players will be facing a lot of my made characters.
Does anyone have any advice as to how I could easily determine what level a character should be to be good fight for my players
Thanks :)
