I became a Harry Potter-fan, thanks to my oldest. It’s so much fun to make Harry Potter things!

I made the big Hedwig for my son, another version of her is here. I’ll post a pattern for the small Hedwig soon.

The golden snitch lovey is made with cotton yarn (175 yds/1.8 oz.) and a 2,5 mm hook. I used a lighter shade of yellow for the golden snitch, but you can use the same yarn for both if you want.

I also made a smaller version:

To make this one you follow the pattern for the blanket but stop after row 10.
