Griffendor all the way. I'm a 63 year old lady, but a kid at heart. Thank you for showing us your work. Love you're videos

[@AmandaCrochets]

I’m so glad you enjoyed this pattern! Great way to show off your Gryffindor pride!

[@heauxkage6835]

I’m so glad I found this pattern. My friends are having a baby and their nursery will be Harry Potter themed and this pattern will be perfect for a blanket gift. Can’t wait to start on this.

[@AmandaCrochets]

I'm so glad you stumbled upon my video! This would be perfect for their little bundle of joy. Happy crocheting :)

I made a Gryffindor blanket for my cousin’s son and added twisted fringe. I was such fun to make and turned out great. Thanks for the wonderful pattern.

[@AmandaCrochets]

How fun! Thanks for watching and glad you enjoyed the pattern!

@@AmandaCrochets I forgot to mention that I made this blanket for a 9-year old. It was 50x68. I used 7 7-oz skeins of Cranberry and 3 7-oz skeins of Sungold. (Hobby Lobby’s I Love This Yarn)

[@AmandaCrochets]

@@debbiedeerfield8638 awesome! I’m sure that blanket will be cherished for a long time 😊

[@AmandaCrochets]

That sounds like a lot of fun! I've been a fan since I was about 10. I usually re-read the books every year or so. I can't get enough!

Hi Amanda! I just began the first of 4 of these im making for Christmas for my adult children and spouses. I have one Hufflepuff and 3 Raven Claw to make that is why started in July!

[@AmandaCrochets]

That's awesome! I hope your children and their spouses enjoy the Harry Potter blankets! Go Hufflepuff :)

[@jasminenystrom9074]

Thank you for sharing this awesome pattern. It was an awesome tutorial; very easy to follow :)

[@AmandaCrochets]

Thanks for watching!

[@vickyg1021]

I was successful making a baby blanket using this BEAUTIFUL pattern, so thank you for sharing this pattern!! I was wondering if I could use this pattern to make a scarf for my 9 year old grandson. If not, do you have a HP theme scarf pattern? Again,THANK YOU for sharing your beautiful video tutorials!😊

[@vickyg1021]

An addendum.. Just curious… would it be possible to make the body of the pattern (main color) using a HDC and for the second color, use a V stitch , alternating using the HDC when returning to the main color. Since it is a gift for my grandson and my name begins with a V, this way he would see a V and remember that I made it for him. Just a thought.

[@AmandaCrochets]

You can change up the stitches as you choose. I think that would be a wonderful idea and a great reminder for him. How sweet!

[@AmandaCrochets]

Yes of course you can make this into a scarf! I don’t have a scarf pattern but I have seen a few online. Good luck!

[@shirleywiggins2810]

I love the pattern for the blanket I am making on starting one have consins that are Harry Potter nuts and Christmas coming up do you have pattern for gloves thank you these are great

[@AmandaCrochets]

Thanks, I’m glad you enjoyed the pattern! No sorry I don’t have any glove patterns.

[@zoevalencia6670]

Good afternoon, I loved your video I have a question is it still three rows for color b if you make the blanket bigger??

[@AmandaCrochets]

Thanks! Yes, if you make the blanket bigger, you will follow the same pattern. You'll just have more stripe sections if you decide to make this blanket longer.

[@zoevalencia6670]

@@AmandaCrochets oh ok thank you so I would make the black longer

[@AmandaCrochets]

Whether you’re making the blanket wider or longer the pattern remains the same. You’ll just be changing the number of chains you make at the beginning if you decide to make the blanket wider.

[@erindalton1851]

Hey not sure if you’ll see this but how do you end it? Do you do the last double crochet and just cut and weave from there or is there a slip stitch somehwre? :)

[@AmandaCrochets]

To end your blanket, you will make the last stitch. Then you will cut off your yarn (leaving a tail), and yarn over your hook and pull through. Then you will tighten your knot and weave in your ends. Hope that helps!

[@vickyg1021]

Thank you for sharing your beautiful HP patterns! I need HELP with the edges! They are uneven and they have large gaps. Would it be possible to have a video tutorial on how to crochet a straight edge…. please! Thank you!

[@vickyg1021]

Also, would it be possible to show the completed blanket including the edges . Thank you

[@AmandaCrochets]

It’s possible you’re not working in the right stitches for the beginning. I highly suggest using stitch markers to mark the very first and very last stitches of each row. I have this blog post showing the completed blanket. Hopefully it helps a little. www.amandacrochets.com/harry-potter-thick-stripes-blanket/

[@AmandaCrochets]

I don’t have these blankets anymore, but this video should show you how to make this stitch more in depth kzbin.info/www/bejne/sIe4eoOsqN2XbsU

[@vickyg1021]

Thank you for responding so quickly. I have used your tips and suggestions with success! Now, would it be possible to provide a nice solid boarder pattern. I would like to mix both colors to coordinate the colors around the blanket. I think that would provide a nice finish. Thank you for your help!

[@AmandaCrochets]

@@vickyg1021 you’re welcome! As far as a solid border, you could always incorporate the herringbone half double crochet for a nice finish. If you search “Suzette baby blanket” on my channel, I show you how to make this border. 😊

[@jenniferknighten2678]

How do you think it would look if all four were added to make one baby blanket? Also, how many main color rows would be if I were to do it this way? Thanks in advance, love the pattern!

[@AmandaCrochets]

I think it would look awesome if you made one baby blanket with all four colors. You can always make a smaller swatch of this blanket to see if you like them together. For my pattern, I made 10 rows of the main color, so you could try this: MC (red) 10 rows, gold/red striped section, MC (green) 10 rows, gray/green striped section, MC (gold) 10 rows, gold/black striped section, MC (navy) 10 rows, gray/navy striped section. To end the blanket, you can go back to the 10 rows of red to match the beginning or continue with the navy. Of course you can change up the color order if you'd like. I hope that helps and make sense!

[@celinegrandbois7458]

my son and hes girlfriend love Herry potter i know nothing about it so i decided to make all 4 blankets smaller and put them together as one big blanket hope thats they like it

[@AmandaCrochets]

That’s amazing! I’m sure they’ll love it!

[@suegesiakowski3363]

Hi Amanda I want to make this blanket for my grandsons birthday..would it work with I Love this Chunky yarn

[@AmandaCrochets]

Yes you can use any yarn you’d like!

[@suegesiakowski3363]

Hi Amanda also What size needle would you suggest that I use... I am still new at this Thanks

[@AmandaCrochets]

I would use the recommended hook size that’s mentioned on the label. For I love this chunky yarn, it should be a size K 6.5mm hook.

[@jasminenystrom9074]

Loving the pattern, but mine’s not laying flat. It’s buckling a little. I was told it’s because there’s no chain 1 in between the stitches. Am I doing it wrong? Been crocheting 30 years and this is one of my favorite projects except for it not laying straight :)

[@AmandaCrochets]

It could be your tension, maybe? I've done this v-stitch with a ch-1 in between and without as shown in the video. You could always try adding a ch-1 in between and see if that helps to make things lie flat for you! :)

[@janetchristiano9342]

What stitch would you use for a border?

[@AmandaCrochets]

For a simple border, my go to is usually a simple single crochet border. You could always do a picot border as well.

[@donnanielsen5127]

Would you do color changes along the side when doing the border sc or go with main color?

[@phightinphilsfan]

Can I use a different pattern but still use the same Harry Potter colors?

[@AmandaCrochets]

Of course!

[@noelleblack7297]

i’m a hufflepuff!

[@AmandaCrochets]

Me too! How awesome :)

[@hadiakhan5627]

Can we get a whole picture of the blanket like so I can see the size cuz I would wanna try attempting this for my friends

[@AmandaCrochets]

Sure thing! You can see the blanket in full on my blog: www.amandacrochets.com/harry-potter-collection/

[@jasminenystrom9074]

I saw it on her website and it says it’s 36by 36 if that helps
