Hogwarts Uniform - the House Scarf

 

The scarves for each of the Hogwarts Houses are bi-coloured: large red stripes and thinner golden-yellow stripes for Gryffindor; large blue, thin bronze for Ravenclaw; large green, thin silver-grey for Slytherin; and large yellow, thin black for Hufflepuff.

Proceed with caution 

At the very end of this lens, after the Harry Potter books for purchase from Amazon, is a feed from Godric's Hollow. They may post comments and/or spoilers, although their feed is not updated very regularly.

I will not be checking these feeds because I don't want to spoil anything for myself either, so I advise that you view the very end of this lens with caution if you are still reading, or yet to read, Deathly Hallows.

Make a Hogwarts house scarf 

Knit the starting large coloured stripe (red for Gryffindor, blue for Ravenclaw, green for Slytherin, and yellow for Hufflepuff).

Cut the yarn and knot the second colour yarn to the first colour. Knit a thinner stripe.

Note where your reverse side is forming and end the thinner stripe so that the first row of the next thicker stripe keeps the same reverse side.

Cut the second colour yarn and knot the first colour in.

Repeat until your scarf is the desired length.

Use a darning needle to work the cut off tails into the sides of your scarf.

Cut short pieces of the main colour and sew them through - about three pieces at a time - the short ends of the scarf. Tie them together to form tassles.

See the instructions for all the Harry Potter accessories here.
