Method

Body
Legs

Stuff as you go.

Begin with black.

Stuff legs lightly as you go.

Round 1: 6 SC into a magic circle (6)

Change to dark grey

Round 2: SC around in BLO (6)

Round 3-6 (4 rounds): SC around (6).

Fasten off. Make sure that you’ve pulled the magic circle tight so that stuffing
doesn’t escape from it.

Repeat rounds 1-6 for the second leg but don’t fasten off.

Body

Stuff as you go. Now we will begin joining the legs.

Round 7: Chain 2 and SC in the next unworked stitch of the first leg. Place a stitch
marker in this stitch to mark the start of your round. SC in the remaining 5 stitches
of the first leg until you reach the chain, SC in each of the 2 chains, SC in the 6
stitches of the next leg, and SC on the other side of each of the two chains until you
reach your stitch marker. (16)

Round 8: SC in each stitch around (16)

Change to light grey.

Round 9: SC in each stitch around (16)

Round 10:SC in each stitch in BLO (16)

Round 11-12 (2 rounds): SC in each stitch around (16)

Round 13: (2 SC, INV DEC) four times (12)

Round 14: (2 SC, INV DEC) three times (9)

Change to skin colour.

Round 15: (SC, INV DEC) three times (6)

Head

Round 16: INC in each stitch around (12)

Round 17: (SC, INC) six times (18)

Round 18: (2 SC, INC) six times (24)

Round 19-23 (5 rounds): SC in each stitch around (24)

If you’re using safety eyes, place them between

Rounds 20 and 21, four stitches apart. Reinsert the
eyes and put the washer firmly on the back.

Ensure that you have stuffed the body well,

especially the neck. I use the back of a scissor to
get the stuffing in but you can use anything small
enough to really push the stuffing in to ensure that
the neck is firm! Continue stuffing the head.

Round 24: (2 SC, INV DEC) six times (18)

Round 25: (SC, INV DEC) six times (12)

Ensure that you have stuffed the head well.

Round 26: INV DEC six times (6)

Fasten off and leave a long tail to embroider the nose and ears. Insert needle in
front loop of each stitch and pull tight to close.

Arms (make 2)
The arms are made of small tubes, which can sometimes be tricky to make. Planet
June has a great tutorial on making these thin tubes here.

Do not stuff

Begin with skin colour.

Round 1: 4 SC into a magic circle (4)

Change to light grey.

Round 2-6 (5 rounds):  SC around (4)

Fasten off and leave a long tail for sewing. Sew onto the body between Round 13
and 14.

Hair cap & Embroidery

Using black yarn.

Round 1: 6 SC into a magic circle

Round 2: INC in each stitch around (12)

Round 3: (SC, INC) six times (18)

Round 4: (2 SC, INC) six times (24)

Round 5-7 (3 rounds): SC around (24)

Round 8: The hair cap instructions for this round can be confusing so I’m going
to break them down into sections. Please note that the next section of bullet points
are all for Round 8 of the hair cap:

 First we will begin by making the first of the three bangs in the front of the
head: Chain 5, starting from the second chain on the hook, 4 SC back down
the chain. SC to the next SC in the hair cap.
  1 SC
  Now we will make the next two bangs: *Chain 5, starting from the second
chain on the hook, 4 SC back down the chain. SC to the next SC in the hair
cap. * Repeat the part between ** for a total of 2 times.
 20 SC.
  Slip stitch into the first stitch of this Round. 
Fasten off, leaving a long tail for sewing.

Pin your hair cap onto your Harry Potter crochet

doll.

The space between the first and second bangs is

where you will embroider on the lightening bolt
scar.

Embroider on the nose one row below the eyes

and the mouth about a row below the nose.

Embroider on Harry’s ears, glasses and lightening

bolt scar. I make the ears about three stitches from the eyes and they are made by
passing the yarn over two stitches, vertically. You may need to adjust this based on
how your hair cap is placed.

Once you have embroidered on all the features, sew the hair cap in place.Put one
stitch into each of the bangs while you are sewing to keep them in place. 

Note: The body of the cloak is worked in rows and the turning chains at the start
of each row do not count as stitches.

Using black yarn.

Row 1: Chain 17. Starting from the second chain from

the hook, 16 SC. Turn. (16)

Row 2: Chain 1. 2 SC, 3 SC in the next stitch, 2 SC, 3

SC in the next stitch, 4 SC, 3 SC in the next stitch, 2
SC, 3 SC in the next stitch, 2 SC. Turn. (24)

Row 3: Chain 1. 5 SC, Chain 4, Skip the next 4

stitches, 6 SC, Chain 4, Skip the next 4 stitches, 5 SC.
Row 4: Chain 2. 5 HDC; 4 HDC (one in each of the 4 chains from the previous
row); 6 HDC, 4 HDC (one in each of the 4 chains from the previous row); 5 HDC.
Turn. (24)

Row 5-8 (4 rows): Chain 2. HDC in each stitch (24)

Fasten off. Now we will make the sleeves.

Sleeves

Attach black yarn to the first armhole of your

cloak (in the chain space from Row 3).

The sleeves are worked in joined rounds.

Round 1: 10 SC around the armhole, evenly

spaced. Sl st to the first SC. (10)

Round 2-3: Chain 1. SC in each stitch around (10). Sl st to the first SC of the round

Fasten off. Now repeat for the second sleeve. Weave in the ends.

The scarf is worked in rows and the turning chains at the start of each row do not
count as stitches.

Note: When making the scarf, I just pull the new colour up when making a colour
change because it would be too many ends to weave in! When putting the scarf on
your doll, you can place it so that colour changes are on the back and cannot be
seen.

Begin with red yarn.

Row 1: Chain 5. Starting from the third chain from the hook, 3 HDC. Turn.

Row 2: Chain 2, 3 HDC. Turn.

Change to yellow

Row 3-4: Chain 2, 3 HDC. Turn.

Change to red

Row 5-6: Chain 2, 3 HDC. Turn.

Change to yellow

Repeat Rows 3-6 until the scarf is the length that you want. I did a total of 42 rows
(or 21 blocks of colour, beginning and ending with red). Fasten off and weave in
your ends.

Now dress your Harry Potter crochet doll in its cloak and scarf. If you like, sew the
scarf around the neck so that it stays in place. Or, if you would prefer it removable,
you could sew a button on the back to hold it in place.

Your Harry Potter crochet doll is now complete! We hope you enjoyed this free
