If you have a Harry Potter fan in your life then I have the perfect project for you. The Hogwarts Houses blanket! A graphghan free crochet pattern for everyone in the wizarding world.
Oh my gosh you guys, it’s finally here! I started teasing this Harry Potter inspired graphghan on my Instagram way back in August and y’all have been patiently waiting and expecto-ing my patronus to release it sooner. Because of my ongoing CALs and life (HELLO, four kids in four schools) this little project took me longer than I expected (or enjoyed). But ain’t that just how it goes sometimes. ANYWAY, without further ado, the …
Hogwarts Blanket Crochet Pattern
All houses are represented here so Harry Potter fans need not worry. I know Gryffindor’s get all the glory but there are many proud Hufflepuffs in the world, as well.
Personalized Border
Personalize your blanket by adding a border in your house color. For my daughter I added a moss stitch border for Gryffindor working two rows of scarlet, one of gold, and one more of scarlet, for a total of four rows. The border is not a part of the graph so you have the freedom to work your own magic here.
The HDC Method
For this project I ditched my usual mini c2c and tried the HDC method for the first time. I have to say, I did not love it as much. I’m not sure if it’s because I’m not as used to it or because I didn’t enjoy the flow. It does take longer than c2c because it works 4 stitches per pixel vs 3 stitches per pixel.
Also, HDC works up taller than c2c. If you work a square graph in c2c it will finish square, but in HDC you end up with an elongated or rectangle shape.
New to Graphs?
If you’re not familiar with graphghans and would like to learn more about how to crochet a graph, I’ve put together some resources for you below.
- c2c for beginners
- three ways to crochet a graph
- estimating yardage for graphghans
- minimizing gaps in c2c
Size
This free crochet pattern is what I call a medium or “throw” sized blanket when finished, depending on what stitch you choose. The graph measures 60 x 97 pixels large. My blanket measured approximately 6 feet long and 3 feet wide. Like I said before, the HDC method works up long so if you use c2c the proportions of your blanket will be different.
I cannot predict the exact size of your finished blanket. Every hooker’s blanket will vary in size depending on yarn, hook size, stitch choice, and personal tension.
