[@atlasvellichor]

I'm starting out knitting over winter break and making a Hufflepuff scarf, this was very helpful.

[@studioknit]

Wonderful! Happy knitting to you, Isabel!

[@jerseys9695]

I am knitting a Hufflepuff scarf too!

[@izl3962]

Isabel Jones My name's Isabel too! :D

[@Russcob1805]

Isabel Jones same!😄

[@ilikecreepypasta4954]

Isabel Jones same!

[@catherinel.rosewood2095]

that motivates me to knitt a slytherin scarf! gonna buy green and whiteish XD thanks

[@Corakai]

Happy knitting...but I feel compelled as a Ravenclaw to point out that I think you meant to say silver, not whitish (no e).

[@catherinel.rosewood2095]

Cora Mullis sadly I did mean to say whiteish. In the only shop around here I can't find silver yarn so I'm stuck with using whiteish greyish or cream yarn ^^;.I know what the colors of my house are XD I'm a slytherin for years now ^^

[@Corakai]

Oh, that's unfortunate. Are you able to order some silver yarn at all? It might be worth it to wait until you get something you know you'll love. Especially if you are new to knitting, it'll be a big time investment and it'd be terrible if you aren't completely happy with the final product after all that work. If not though, the whitish grey is probably going to be closest.

[@studioknit]

+CutieLilyNekoPie Yay!!! Have fun & would love to see it!!

[@catherinel.rosewood2095]

Cora Mullis I don't know any shops and my mum alone isn't really fond of getting me yarn. she always says I won't finish it anyway so I'm gonna stick with the closest yarns I can get ^^ I'll be happy enough because I'd be done by myself. thanks for concern anyway

[@Redeemed493]

I have now made four scarves using this pattern. Three were gifts. 2-Gryffindor, 1-Hufflepuff and 1-Ravenclaw. Thank you so much for sharing this. You're a gem!

[@caitlinhenshaw6228]

Can I just say how frickin smart that is to knit two together when joining? I wish I'd know that trick like 10 years ago.

[@mollybannon4176]

Seven yarn strands for the fringe representing each of the harry potter books

[@studioknit]

+Molly Bannon Ha, spoken like a true HP fan!!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Studio Knit Omg Studio Knit commented on my comment!

[@ELMTree-le7nq]

And harry potter was the 7th horcrux by mistake

[@Soulful_Chaos]

Easy peasy! Thanks a lot! I'm so excited! I'm a beginner and this is my first circular needle project for my hubby in his favorite colors. If it turns out good (looking like it will), I'm gonna make one for each our kids too.

[@studioknit]

Wonderful! You may wish to cast on fewer stitches for the little ones, as they don't need it quite so wide... and it'll knit up faster for you! Good luck and have fun! Love your KZbin name!

[@JeanninesCraftroom]

Great job! I made my daughter in law a Harry Potter scarf last Christmas. I was to lazy to knit it in the round and did 1X1 ribbing to mimick stockinette on both sides. Your version is more authentic I think. Looks good!

[@studioknit]

Hi, Jeannine! Great to see you again. Thanks so much! Lots of variations on the Harry Potter scarf, and they're always recognizable and put a smile on people's faces!

[@meagsandbaconn]

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!! This is exactly what I needed to know for adding fringe because I've been wanting to make a Harry Potter scarf for myself for the longest time! Just need to afford the yarn 😧 But thank you so much for doing this really!

[@studioknit]

Happy to know my knitting tutorial is helpful to you. Fringe is so fun and easy!

[@michelleerskine6248]

I'm looking forward to trying this one. I'm getting married in July and my maid of honour is a huge HP fan (as am I!) This will be a thankyou gift for her (in Slytherin colours of course)

[@studioknit]

Awesome idea!!! 💖

[@alisonjeff9199]

i dont even knit but i want a hogwarts scarf so i might learn just because of this

[@studioknit]

Haha, you can do it!!! Let me know how it goes!

[@nade8737]

SAME

[@itzann4258]

Same here

[@juliehamel8330]

OMG! I just finished a hufflepuff scarf for a friend. I made it considerably longer (almost to the floor long) and made the stripes larger but followed the techniques from your video. Took me 3 weeks and now i can finally give it to him. :D I really uped my knitting game all thanks to your wonderfull videos. Thank you for posting. Can't wait for my next project ♡

[@studioknit]

Wow, that sounds so cool! Congrats on finishing it!

[@tobequitefranco]

the fringe technique is So simple and clever, I love it. I have never knitted in a round needle, but I kinda want to try bc this pattern looks so good.

[@MichelleKasten]

Thank you SO MUCH for this amazing tutorial!!! I just finished my Gryffindor scarf; my first knitting project EVER! The links in the description were so helpful. I am so thrilled to learn more and start my next project!!!! Thank you!!!!

[@danyellsmithy]

I'm almost done with mine! This was my first knitting project. I'm so excited to wear it! Thank you so much for the simple instructions.

[@studioknit]

Great job! Impressive first project!

[@Hi-wf7wu]

My friend is a huge fan of Harry Potter and I’m trying to get her a teddy bear with the Hufflepuff scarf (for secret Santa) but I figured I can make the scarf and sew it onto the teddy bear. So thank you very much

[@schellymuphy2443]

I've been selling these for a little while on etsy (different needles sizes and pattern) but I've been going crazy trying to figure out how to hide the color change jog! thank you for this technique!

[@studioknit]

+Schelly Muphy Awesome, happy I could help!! Best to you on your Etsy sales!!

[@certsurgtech08]

I started knitting about 3 months ago, and learned so much from you. Thank you for your guidance! When you posted this video, right before Halloween, I knew I needed to make this scarf for my friend. I enjoyed it so much, that I decided to make a Hufflepuff one for myself. They are pretty amazing and will keep our necks warm, in this cold and dark place we call home...Wisconsin!

[@idak8179]

This was a beautiful and easy to follow tutorial. Brilliant knitting the scarf in the round 😊

[@studioknit]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@JustLiliGaming]

Love love love this scarf and how it's double sided and in a circle thanks so much for this tutorial!

[@studioknit]

You're so welcome, +Lillysworld! Happy knitting to you!

[@JustLiliGaming]

Thank you, once I'm done with it I'll tweet you my finished scarf!

[@jenniferdale4733]

Would be helpful to know how many skeins or yards of each color needed for scarf

[@ShelbyPlatt]

Making a Ravenclaw scarf and have been using this pattern and video to help me along! Been taking advantage of this quarantine (thanks covid19) to pick up my hobby of knitting again. Thanks for the great vid!

[@sagarikak3846]

Thanks to this video I just finished my Ravenclaw scarf!! I love studio knit

[@taylormatthews7488]

I’ve been following this tutorial but I’ve been doing the later years scarf but a thing that I’ve been doing without having all those strands to weave in is to not cut off the extra working yarn until the last time you need it. And depending on how big your yarn ball is you can just stick the other ball off yarn inside the scarf to move it out of the way. Just a tip to anyone :)

[@evieperks4233]

I love harry potter!! Yay . Im going to knit it while watching it !!!

[@shadowdragon6170]

I made a hufflepuff scarf using this and it came out really well

[@studioknit]

+Shadow Dragon Wonderful!!

[@spikemom2003]

Would love a pic!

[@taradreams3]

Awesome! I am already a knitter but have yet to find a good tutorial for a HP scarf that is simple. Thanks so much!!!

[@studioknit]

+Tara Straubinger Wonderful, so happy this is helpful to you! Enjoy!!!

[@meldeblaecker4929]

I first bought the wool then figured I'd wing it. Subscribed to you via email and couldn't believe my luck when this pattern came up for free. Thank you so much.

[@studioknit]

Wonderful, Mel! Enjoy!

[@heather4074]

i want to like this a million times!

[@studioknit]

Awww... you're so sweet, Heather. I'm guessing you're a bit Harry Potter fan?!?!

[@heather4074]

My youngest daughter middle name is Hermione :) I absolutely love any and everything Harry Potter

[@studioknit]

Wow, that is AWESOME! Okay, you're a bonafide fan for sure! So cute!

[@jadas_purple_socks]

This is very helpful! I think I'll try to make the base with two regular needles, but adding the tassels was very helpful!! Thank you!

[@evelynolea4433]

What if I want the scarf to be wider? Should I get a circular need longer than 16 inches? And should I cast on more than 51 stitches

[@ink1422]

I'm in the middle of knitting a rave claw scarf 😂 this is amazing tysm❤️

[@kathleengreen6889]

I just knit three Gryffindor scarves of your pattern for my grandchildren! I used Wool- ease Cranberry and Gold, too. Thank you! xox 🪄✨

[@studioknit]

Wonderful, Kathleen! You are so welcome!

[@melavery9210]

How long does it take you to make a scarf that long?

[@MissAmy6]

Thank you for this pattern! While in FL at the Wizarding World of HP I got dozens of compliments on my Gryffindor scarf. I was there in January so I was happy to have a scarf, it was a little chilly.

[@studioknit]

So cool!!!

[@kathleengreen6889]

I just ordered the same yarn and colors you are using...love Wool Ease!

[@karenwallace5484]

Love this pattern .i made two for Christmas presents.

[@unboundwerewolf2680]

Can you make this without the round needle please. Thanks.

[@studioknit]

+Unbound Werewolf Yes! Check out my Double Stockinette pattern! That stitch will have it looking great on both sides!

[@ForgottenSoul2012]

How many cast ons do you recommend for a toddler? Also, can you do an embroidery video? :) thank you!

[@MistressOfMusic96]

Love this video! This is the time I've ever tried knitting in the round and this was very helpful. Is it possible to carry up the different colors rather than having to weave them in? I know that you have a video on how to carry up too. Thanks :)

[@the4thnonblonde]

Like alot. Will link to you my own creation of a Hogwarts scarf, in my house colours of Ravenclaw; using the circular needles technique as my debut. started early in the summer & finished a few weeks back, didn't bothered sew the loose ends from the insides, but had plan of wash scarf by hand. It's now long & cosy and look forward to wear in a chilly London day out. 🤗⚡

[@studioknit]

It's so pretty, Samantha! Thanks so much for sharing with me!!!

[@kamalaahluwalia]

Beautiful. I really love the video tutorial . The colour combination is great.

[@studioknit]

Thank you so much, Kamala. Happy knitting to you!

[@nishkavyas4635]

I’m making this for my friends birthday. It was very helpful thank you

[@rajulshah768]

Thanjs for this pattern. How much yarn is needed please?

[@jsharples7014]

Can you explain a little further about changing the colours, and what to do with the yellow yarn once you've moved back to the red yarn and so on?

[@emilythompson4668]

I would love more Halloween knits

[@nat-lynn7]

I would do this but I already have a Gryffindor scarf my aunt got me for Christmas. She knows that my fave house is Gryffindor and also it is my house. I've taken a lot of quizzes including the Pottermore one. This was fun to watch even if I'm not making it. I also have the Hogwarts badge on mine, just a bit different.

[@michellestieglitz9988]

Can you give a suggestion for how much yarn is needed?

[@satishjaisinghani4812]

How much time will it take?

[@annacarter5714]

This was the most helpful tutorial I’ve ever found holy wow thank you so much!!!!!

[@studioknit]

So sweet, Carteraa. Happy Hogwarts knitting to you!

[@RenzylVallearki]

I'm sorted in Gryffindor! Thanks for this great tutorial!

[@magirl0413]

I'm just curious, could you make this with regular needles?

[@studioknit]

Yes, definitely! You could make it in Stockinette Stitch doubled up just like this... cast on 100 Stitches and knit the even rows and purl the odd rows, then seam it up the sides!

[@freshbeanne]

or just do 50 stitches and nevermind having double thickness, yes?

[@rosereckas7585]

Can I knit each row without purl? Thanks!

[@HeidiTeutsch-v3i]

So soft

[@lisamiller3410]

Couldn't find the Gryffindor shades in 10ply (worsted) yarn, so got 8ply (DK) instead. Have tried to start it multiple times on 16inch (40cm) circular needles but the stitches just don't get far enough around the needles. Do I need to add more stitches or get a smaller set of circular needles (30cm)?

[@fish98ful]

What would happen if you knitted with just the two sticks(lol I call them sticks ) for knitting ? And not in the round. Wousl it all apply the same ?

[@diet94]

The 16 inch circular needle seems a little long for this pattern. I am just beginning but I feel like I'm stretching it a lot to get it going. Is this just me or is someone else found this to be an issue as well.

[@meltdownofminds1321]

I'm glad you showed the fringe method with the tapestry needle I lost my krochet hook

[@studioknit]

Great! Glad it will help you out. 💖

[@Ghost-mq7gn]

What's the difference between using a circle needle and just regular ones? (can it be done with regular needles)

[@anishaislam7130]

Hi Kristen! I was wondering how many skeins of yarn you used? Just trying to estimate if I have enough to make one for my friend, she's pretty tall

[@spikemom2003]

Another quick question, any tips on how to keep it from curling up at the edges?

[@Cobb_innit]

Definitely going to try this but I might have to wait a few weeks because my round needles are too long.

[@cairotaylor116]

I’m gonna make a hufflepuff scarf now! Thank you for being super helpful! I’m going to go buy black and yellow yarn now XD

[@krystynalwood4161]

question, when you changed colors, did you leave the first color attached or did you cut it?

[@ren7231]

I'm new to knitting and I have to say I am having troubles moving the stitches around on the needles. Is anyone else fighting the stitches to get back on the wooden part? Or is there a way to make the stitches insanely loose? I'm not casting on tight either.

[@lamiyasinaph3470]

I think I'll make this! I have similar colors, I am a gryffindor. I have a yellow and some thing close to that cranberry color.

[@madcowboyboy]

Using the same brand of yarn, what would y'all suggest for the other houses?

[@TabithaHolland_]

I love this, I’d love to make a Ravenclaw one but I am WAY too impatient for this :(

[@camallamadingdong69]

This helped me stitch a hufflepuff scarf, I love your channel!

[@studioknit]

Wonderful!!!! So happy it was helpful to you!

[@picrust314]

Nice work. What kind of kniting is it? I know there are many ways to knit and Im notgood enough to see what way youre doing it.

[@zachnorthrup9425]

Do you count the cast on row in the 13 rows before changing colors or do you cast on and then do 13 rows?

[@GrapeSmol]

How much yarn did you use? Planning on making one for my boyfriend’s birthday!

[@strokesfan10]

Is there a way to do this without the tassels?

[@Freddy-hz8cn]

Are you actually a Gryffindor? I love how your scarf looks! I want to make one, I'm a Ravenclaw

[@studioknit]

Ha, of course! Awesome, thanks, Freddy!

[@lauraflannigan6786]

I'm ravenclaw too

[@Sk0rPiUsAzRaEl]

Freddy Chen I'm Ravenclaw as well

[@the4thnonblonde]

I knitted myself a Ravenclaw scarf, in the true house-colours of Dark-Blue & Bronze (well i use a bronzey-Brown), since the summer & finished it a few weeks ago. Am pleased with it. 🤗 Give it a go, fellow Wise & Witty Ravenclaws! 😊

[@bellacampbell2412]

Ravenclaw UNITE!!!!!!!!!

[@kitokato8390]

I was wondering if this would still work with a thicker yarn? I couldn't find any worsted weight yarn from where I live. I'm making a slytherin scarf!

[@nancyann9658]

Love your tutorial ! But I would like to make it without the fringe. How would I finish the ends without fringe ? Thanks so much for the excellant video !

[@iwatchyoutubevideos3815]

Nancy ann probably just see it together or crotchet it

[@baby_bear72]

Hi :) I was wondering if you have made a scarf tutorial on straight needles :)

[@riannasegner6544]

This video was SUPER helpful and I appreciate you taking the time do make it! Can't wait to try out this scarf! Thank you!

[@ElenaMaKandHappyHome]

Thank you for video. It's very beautiful scarf/ I like this colours!

[@lezr7267]

I'm having trouble with knitting in the round bc my circular needles are too long. Can I work this flat then sew the long sides together?

[@spikemom2003]

A question from a new knitter. I am a very experienced crocheter that really wants to take up knitting. So far it is very challenging lol. My biggest problem is casting on. I just can't get the hang of long tail or slingshot method. The only way I've been able to cast on half way decently is the cable method. My question is how do you feel about this method for this scarf?

[@studioknit]

Yes, that will work great, too! ❤️💛❤️

[@velvet740]

Can you knit this scarf without the round? Can I use a normal needle?

[@danielleonquiroga7701]

Hello, I really loved this Harry Potter's scarf, but I have a question, is possible that you tell me which are the references of the colors that you used to kint this beautiful scarf? I mean which type of yellow and red, thank you so much :)

[@sophiehuggan3490]

OK so I'm a huge fan of harry potter and I love this video that you have made of the harry potter scarf I am so going to try and recreate this thanks so much

[@janellemorena9693]

I'm so excited to do this! Thank you for doing this tutorial. Sorry if I missed it but can you please tell me how many balls of yarn you used for each color?

[@studioknit]

Thanks for asking, Janelle - Yes, I used 220 yards of each color. The yarn I bought came in balls of 197 yds each, so I bought 2 of each color and only used a little bit of the second balls. Hope this helps!

[@janellemorena9693]

Thank you!

[@StaticDragon360]

I love gryffindor she seems really nice I subscribed ☺

[@studioknit]

Ha, thanks so much for subscribing. You seem very nice, as well!

[@lauraflannigan6786]

please do a video on how to knit a cable knit blanket

[@Mcshanda]

I forgot you can do a scarf in the round 😀Thank you

[@studioknit]

+Mcshanda 2019 You're so welcome!!! Yes, takes a little longer to finish, but so yummy and cozy!!

[@makaylaleigh9579]

How long is this scarf

[@huffleclaaw]

I tried to knit this pattern but my scarf is rolling on each side and on the bottom.. how did you do to have a straight scarf ?

[@heatea5255]

Do i have to use circular needle ? i only have normal

[@sotiriavalentain8339]

Is it ok if I don't use the circular needles?

[@studioknit]

Sure! You could either do the Stockinette Stitch and seam up the edge... or the Double Stockinette Stitch would be nice, too. You could also just create a scarf in the Garter Stitch. All of these are on my channel.

[@sotiriavalentain8339]

Studio Knit thank you so much for your help!!!❤ You're so talented

[@ysabellaante6497]

hi Studio Knit! i'd like to ask what kind of yarn you used here. thanks! :)

[@badlaur7221]

Please - can someone tell me why the Gryffindor scarf is knit in the round? Doesn't that make the scarf very thick? Can I just knit it on straight needles?

[@libbysreadingcorner9564]

Can you do this with straight needles?

[@kathleen2444]

If you don't use a wool yarn, will it effect anything? Thanks!

[@studioknit]

No, +Kathleen - feel free to use any fiber in worsted weight and have fun!!!

[@PixelmannsRotmg]

How much yarn did you use?

[@Howard_T_Duck]

thank you so much! Amazing scarf and video!

[@studioknit]

+Horny the Clown Thank you!! Happy you liked it!!

[@studioknit]

You are so welcome!!! Happy knitting to you!

[@azamkhan445]

can you show that without the circular needle? i have subscribed and i will be waiting

[@stargazingcatgirl3233]

Thanks for this great tutorial

[@studioknit]

Glad it was helpful!
