Harry Potter Inspired Knitting Patterns
These Harry Potter inspired knits are a must for the fans of this world of witchcraft and wizardry.
From variations of the classic Hogwarts house scarves to unique creations made by Potterheads, these unique knit designs are fun to knit, to gift, and to show off to friends and family.
The Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling follows the journey of a young wizard, Harry Potter, as he discovers his magical heritage and attends the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
Raised in the ordinary world by his neglectful aunt and uncle, Harry learns on his eleventh birthday that he is a wizard—and a famous one at that, due to his mysterious survival of a deadly curse cast by the dark wizard Lord Voldemort.
Over seven books, Harry grows from a boy into a young adult, facing numerous trials and learning the value of friendship, courage, and love. Alongside his friends Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley, Harry confronts Voldemort’s returning threat and uncovers the secrets of his own past. The series explores themes of good versus evil, identity, sacrifice, and the transformative power of love, enchanting readers with its rich world-building, memorable characters, and thrilling adventures.
