There are few fandoms that are as old, but still as popular as it was during the series’ heyday. The Harry Potter fandom is still going strong, even though the original book and movie series have concluded. (It definitely helps that there’s new content coming out. Anyone else really want to see Harry Potter and the Cursed Child?) Because the fandom is so strong, there are tons of Harry Potter inspired knitting patterns. The following 35 Harry Potter knitting patterns are all free.

Bags

1. HP House Fair Isle Pouch Bags by Rosemary Waits

A perfect bag for any Gryffindor to carry into battle (or for Ravenclaws to carry their books, or Hufflepuffs their snacks, or Slytherin their… little black books?).

Skills needed:

• In the round knitting
• Stranded colorwork

2. Golden Snitch Bag by Kim Strauss

Catch that golden snitch and put it to work carrying your goodies! That’ll teach it for being a sneaky little thing.

Skills needed:

• In the round knitting
• Decreases/increases
• Seaming

Blankets

3. Ron Weasley Blanket by Penguineer

The pattern behind this blanket was insanely well researched and includes screenshots from the movies and museum displays to show how and where the blocks go.

Skills needed:

• Striping
• Colorwork
• Seaming

Gloves

4. H is for Hufflepuff by SuperJenn

Show your Hufflepuff pride with these handsome fingerless mitts. I love how many of these patterns have intricate colorwork.

Skills needed:

• Chart
• Colorwork
• Decreasing/increasing

5. Hermione’s Mittens by Freshisle Fibers

Hermione didn’t wear these mittens in any of the movies. But they are inspired by a scarf that she was wearing (the pattern is listed later!). It’s one of those fandom-based pieces that blend in with any wardrobe (but will be immediately recognized by a fellow fan).

Skills needed:

• Chart
• Fair isle
• In the round knitting

Hats

6. Godric’s Hollow Hat by Rebecca Beam

Hermione was a fashionable lady in the movies. This hat is inspired by another piece of her wardrobe, specifically the hat she was wearing in Godric’s Hollow.

Skills needed:

• In the round knitting
• Bottom-up construction

7. Hermione’s Bobbles and Cables Hat by Kashikhan

This hat is a good introduction for a novice knitter. It has cables and popcorn patterns in an otherwise simple hat. AND you then have a hat from Hermione’s costumes.

Skills needed:

• Bobbles/popcorn pattern
• Cables
• In the round knitting
• Bottom-up construction

8. Hermione Hearts Ron by Christy Aylesworth

For more experienced knitters looking for a bit more of a challenge, this pattern is for you. It’s an elegant hat that perfectly mixes more masculine and feminine elements into “a beautiful snowflake effect when viewed from the top.” Perfect! <3

Skills needed:

• Bottom up construction
• Cables
• In-the-round knitting
• Decreases/increases
• Eyelets

9. Weasley Twin Hat by bluekitsune

This hat was patterned off hats that the Weasley twins were wearing in several of the movies, except for one change: “In one still, it is clear that there is a flaw in the repeats of the pattern. I suspect it is because the sizing wasn’t working out as desired with a full set of repeats, although it could also be because it was knit flat and seamed. In any case, I left that part out and worked the pattern out with seven even repeats.” I love when crafters improve upon costuming.

Skills needed:

• Intarsia
• In-the-round knitting
• Bottom-up construction

10. Ron’s Animal Cracker Hat by MrsKatNorris

Need a hat for your beau so you can reenact a scene between Ron and Hermione? (You’re obviously working through this list in order and have already made Hermione’s bobble hat.) You’re in luck! This hat is based on one that Ron wears, so you’re all set for your cosplay.

Skills needed:

The post 35 Free Harry Potter Knitting Patterns appeared first on Knitting for Nerds.

Game of Thrones is back tonight and what better way to celebrate than by sitting down with new Game of Thrones knitting patterns. Can you believe we have only until season 8 to wrap up the entirety of the series? Three more seasons, including the one starting tonight, and then we’ll have all the answers.

You won’t be nearly as excited if you’re a book purist. But even then, these patterns are perfect! Most of them are representations of the character, rather than exact things they wore during the show.

The Greyjoy sigil is not explicitly shown in the show (or at least I don’t remember it), so it’s cool to see different interpretations of it. And this one in particularly looks like Cthulhu rising from the depths of Ry’leh.

Skills needed:

• Chart reading
• Colorwork

Honestly, House Greyjoy has my favorite sigil (or fan interpretations of sigils) because I love squids (and octopus), even if the house isn’t my favorite.

Skills needed:

• Chart reading

5. House Stark Sigil by Jessica Halleck

I really like this interpretation: The Stark House sigil has never looked so frightening. That direwolf is definitely ready for what winter brings.

The Queen of Thorns said about her own sigil:

“Growing Strong.” Ha! The dullest words of any House. “Winter Is Coming.” Now that’s memorable. “We Do Not Sow.” Strong, strong, those are Houses you watch out for. Direwolves and krakens, fierce beasts… but a golden rose growing strong? Ha! That strikes fear in the heart.

It’s a subtle symbol. But roses are sneaky stabbers.

Skills needed:

• Chart reading

• Ribbing
• Colorwork

23. House Mormont Mitts by Anna Richardson

Skills needed:

• Knitting in the round
• Seaming
• Colorwork

Housegoods

35. Game of Thrones Blanket by Ruby Gal

46. Lyanna’s Shawl by Katrina King

According to many theories for Game of Thrones’ end game, Lyanna Stark is the key. She’s the beginning and somehow relates to the end. This shawl uses “snowflake and strawberry motifs to reflect Lyanna’s northern heritage and love of blue roses” and the pattern author recommends “add[ing] Ice-Blue beads for Lyanna and Ruby beads as a nod both to House Targaryen’s colors of Red and Black and to the rubies that stud Rhaegar’s breastplate.”

Skills needed:

• Lacework

47. Melisandre by Katrina King

This shawl is an interpretation of the shawl that Tyrion gave to Shae when he sent her away, for her own safety:

Shae refused to leave Tyrion, even at the risk of her own safety. Tyrion was forced to resort to sending her away in a rather brisk fashion. As a parting gift to show how much he cared for her, Trion commissioned a shawl in deep reds of the Lannister colors.  A single, simple gift to keep Shae warm was what Tyrion intended to give to Shae. The betrayal that he got in return was most unexpected.

Skills needed:

• Chart reading

Skills needed:

• Lacework

58. Winterfell Cowl by Fancy Tiger Crafts

This cowl looks like an easy knit and will keep your neck and chest warm under your winter clothes. The leather fastener really makes it feel like it could come from the show itself.

59. Ygritte Shawl by Hare & Anser

This loopy knit shawl is another knitting pattern that look like the animal pelts favored by the wildlings and Night’s Watch.

62. Drachenkrallen by Scarlet Plume

This pattern is available in both German and English. The translated title means “dragon claws” and is directly inspired by Viserion. The sharp and pointy details are all based on the claws, but I also think the circles in the pattern look like where the claws might tear through.

72. Meera and Jojen by Jill Bickers

“I chose to design a sock honoring them that features FROGS–one for Meera, and one for Jojen that travel side by side. Meera’s frog goes all the way down the foot, while Jojen’s ends at the heel–because Meera’s journey continues after Jojen’s does not.” There’s a LOT of thought to this pattern and it’s really handsome.

Skills needed:

• Knitting in the round
• Lacework
• Cables

73. Melisandre by Purrlescent

The swirling flame pattern licks up from your toes, kind of like what would happen if Melisandre sacrificed you to the Red God.

Skills needed:

• Knitting in the round
• Chart reading

74. Paradiesvogel by Scarlet Plume

This pattern is available in both German and English. It’s based off of Daario Naharis and the yarn especially matches Daario’s character description: Long, dyed blue hair, matching beard in three prongs, gold mustache, and a gold tooth. Loud and flamboyant doesn’t even begin to cover it.

Skills needed:

• Knitting in the round
• Colorwork
• Cables

78. Lady Catelyn by Avril Lang

The pattern on this sweater, inspired by Lady Catelyn, looks a lot like ripples in the water. It’s not an overpowering pattern either. The pattern creator says there’s “some tricky bits,” which makes it good for knitters looking for a challenge.

79. Stark White Sweater by Bridget Pupillo
