When my friend Kara had kittens, and named them after two of my favorite characters from the wonderful series, I knew I had to make them something and I knew what it had to be. Thus was born Harry Potter yarn-style.
Knit on 3.4 with leftover scrap yarn, his sweater is a flat square knit up the back (CO 24) with gray yarn, arms and lets are knit in the round (CO 9 and 12 respectively) with black yarn and white for hands.
The head I picked up sts from the top of the sweater and joined in the round, knit 3 rows, *M1 every 3rd st, k1 row, rep from * 3 times, k 3 or 4 rows, then decreased by ssl and k2tog on either side of the face twice around, then 2tog every other all around, pull sts through tight.
His cloak is just a st st triangle. Hair and features are sewn on, and tie is a colored piece of cloth sewed on. He is then stuffed with cotton balls and a lot of organic catnip.
Long Live Harry Potter!!
