Here is a pattern I made up to knit a Hogwarts house scarf for your American Girl Doll! Mine is yellow and black for Hufflepuff but you can change the colors to any house colors you want: Red with gold stripes for gryffindor, Blue with grey stripes for Ravenclaw or Green with grey stripes for Slytherin. It is knit in the round on double-pointed needles. You need to know basic knitting skills and how to knit with double-pointed needles (here is a video if you need help)
You will need:
Worsted weight yarn (size #4) in your chosen colors
Size 8 double-pointed needles
Directions:
Cast-on 16 stitches (place a stitch marker so you know when the next row starts)
Knit 6 rows in yellow, knit 1 row in black, knit 2 rows yellow, knit 1 row black
(The scarf is being knit inside-out!)
Repeat this pattern until the scarf is the length that you want:
*Knit 7 rows yellow, Knit 1 row black, Knit 2 rows yellow, Knit 1 row black* (end with 7 rows yellow)
My scarf is 33″ long (without the fringe) which is 17 repeats + 7 rows of yellow.
Turn your scarf right-side-out and lay flat. Add fringe to each end: Cut 28 pieces of yellow yarn 5″ long. Use 2 strands together and attach across the bottom edge of the scarf evenly. You should have 7 groups on each end. Trim the ends so it has a nice straight edge. If you don’t know how to add fringe here is a video to help.
My doll’s Hogwarts uniform was made by a friend in a swap on Craftster.
This blog has a bunch of great tutorials for making your doll a uniform and accessories!
Wouldn’t the color for ravenclaw be brown since their colors are bronze and blue ?
In the books Ravenclaw is bronze and blue but in the movies they used grey and blue, so pick the colors you like best!
Where did you get the Harry Potter doll robes ? I NEED A SLYTHERIN AND RAVENCLAW ONE !!!
the whole outfit was made for me in a craft swap but I know there are a few tutorials to make your own or you might find one for sale on etsy.
