Harry Potter Knitting Patterns - Free

Image
Well, I finally fell onto the wagon.  I have fallen in love...with Harry Potter.  Honestly, after finishing the series, I don't know why it took me so long.  My darkest fears of being snatched into the sacrilegious, have been completely eradicated.  In fact, I've stumbled upon many embedded biblical themes in the magical, albeit fictional, world. I have to admit, I'm glad I saved the series for now.  This year is the exact year that I desperately needed to escape into an amazing fictional world...to leave behind my own challenges, triumphs and heartbreak, for a bit, and enter into someone else's. Harry's world has given me respite, and more...many new things to knit!  Here are the best (and most realistically worth my time) Harry Potter Knitting Patterns - Free I have found.

The Original Plarn Bag: Free Knitting Pattern

Image
The first plarn project I designed was supposed to be a grocery bag.  After completing the project, I quickly realized it was too small for it's designed purpose.  (It could only fit an item or two, and I have a large family and a LOT of groceries.). So, I scrapped the pattern, kept the bag and started over.   What came out of the original idea was the Reusable Grocery Bag pattern.  It's great.  I love it, and I use it.  However, I have since found that the other bag is equally valuable and share worthy.   This bag is smaller.  More like a purse.  I have used it for carrying anything from library books to knitting projects, to plarn balls.  If I am honest...this plarn bag actually gets more use than the grocery bag.  (They don't tend to let you use reusables when ordering via app and curbside.  So, mostly, I'm just out here stacking up more plarn potential.)  Here are the details of the making: Plarn Bag: Free Knitting Pattern Click to Print Materials Pre-Cut Plarn: 2-
