The patterns in this book are pretty simple. If you're an experienced knitter, you'll probably find you could knit most of them without a pattern. However, for newbies to the craft like me, who have children who adore Harry Potter, it's perfect. I can learn basic construction rules while making my
There are patterns for sweaters in children's and women's sizes, scarves, socks, hats, a cloak, a stuffed owl, a simple lace shawl, and a few other items. The only really complex pattern is a colorwork-intensive blanket. But even it wouldn't be difficult if you are used to intarsia.

This book has some lovely patterns for the Harry Potter devotee in your life. I am making the Mrs. Weasley Stitch Witchery Bag and having a great time with it. That pattern, and a few others, are worth checking out even if Harry Potter isn't really your thing.

If you are like me and love knitting and love Harry Potter, then this book is what you are looking for. It has awesome patterns for scarves, gloves, and all kinds of Harry Potter related knits that are fun.

For a beginning knitter like myself, most of these projects are far too advanced, so this is not that satisfying or helpful as a source from which to learn. Still, if you're a very serious Harry Potter fan, and are therefore willing to bang your head against learning to knit until you can produce

the items described, it is an absolute must have. Moreover, there are one or two beginner pieces in here that make it worthwhile, especially the ubiquitous and much-sought house scarves. Show Less

In my opinion this is a must have for knitters who like Harry Potter. Some of these patterns are available free online, however. The patterns are mostly from the movies, and only go through the third or fourth movie, but the patterns are well thought out, and actually resemble the items of the
