Young Snape and Lily Potter

Inspired by The Prince's Tale sequence from the final Harry Potter film, here are very young Severus Snape and Lily Potter, back when life was happy and James Bloody Potter hadn't messed everything up.


Lily is wearing a simple blue dress with a purple trim. Severus is wearing an ill-fitting jacket (see, it was intentional, not just bad knitting), a cream shirt with tiny buttons, and navy jeans. In the film, if you look very carefully, you can see that he is wearing the classic misfit footwear combo of socks and sandals. I'm glad he didn't carry this look into his adult life. It was too hard to knit microscopic socks and sandals so he just has black shoes.


These two dolls are teeny tiny, compared to my usual 14 inch adult figures. They are around 9 inches tall, so they should be in scale with the adults.

These two youngsters were a special order for an Etsy customer, but if you'd like these for your collection, drop me a line.

Moody stuff

If you're looking for a quick Halloween costume project, this could be just the job: Kelly's crocheted Mad Eye Moody patch.

You'll be needing a 4mm crochet hook, black, blue, white, light brown yarn, a tapestry needle, stuffing, two buttons and elastic.

Free pattern here so get stitching!

Hermione Granger doll

Sorry, yes, I know, she's not in Slytherin, and at this rate I'm going to be banned from the common room and mucking out the Thestrels for the entire autumn term. But here is my Hermione Granger doll. She was a special order for an Etsy customer.


I'd like to think that she is as bossy and as know-it-all as the real-life non-knitted Hermione. She's gone off to a new home already, but if you'd like a Hermione doll of your own, drop me a line.

I'm currently working on some Pirates of the Caribbean dolls but after that I've got a bit of a special Harry Potter idea in the knitting pipeline (Is that technically a knitline? Probably).

Harry and Draco knitting patterns

You can now buy the knitting patterns for Draco Malfoy and Harry Potter in my Etsy shop - the patterns for both dolls are included in one 8-page suitably gothic-themed pattern. Put down that wand, pick up your needles, and get knitting, Slytherins!

Harry Potter knitted doll

Yes, OK, I know that I am going to be barred from the common room for a few days for knitting a Gryffindor. But if it makes you feel any better, he has gone off to a new home with Draco and will probably be bullied mercilessly.

Harry Potter was a custom order for one of my wonderful Etsy customers but I am currently working on the pattern so you can knit him and Draco for yourselves.

His glasses are made out of twisted fuse wire and he's wearing a school jumper and robes with Gryffindor house colour trims. Just like the real Harry, it's impossible to make his hair stay neatly down, thanks to a sprinkling of short, thick, mohair chunky wool sprinkled in among the double knitting yarn...

Voldemort and Nagini knitting pattern

Now on sale in my Etsy shop - my knitting pattern to make a 14 inch Voldemort doll, and a Nagini who you can knit as long as you like. Voldemort and Nagini knit up on 4mm needles, using the double knitting yarn of your choice. Nagini has a flexible wire inner so you can pose her into all kinds of troublesome positions.


This 8 page knitting pattern has a fittingly gothic feel and is printed on the sort of parchment paper that would be perfect for a potions essay. The cover is card, and the whole thing is hand assembled, with a colour photo of the two cuddly bad guys/gals on the front.


Patterns will be sent by first class owl post, or airmail if you are outside of the UK.

Severus Snape knitted doll

Severus Snape is about 12 inches tall and knitted from acrylic yarn. He is dressed in his trademark Victorian frock coat complete with lots of tiny hand-sewn buttons and is delightfully grumpy.

He is hand-knitted from one of my own patterns and is looking forward to sitting in your house and taking house points away from you at every opportunity.

Buy Severus in my Etsy shop - or why not make your own from my pattern?

Slytherin House pure wool mittens

Dark heart, warm hands - a pair of 100% merino wool Slytherin house mittens, knitted in grey and green house colours.

These mittens have been hand knitted (by me!) using a smaller needle to create thick, snug mittens which will keep you warm no matter how dank your dungeon. Mittens are knitted in 100% merino wool, because acrylic is for Hufflepuffs.

Length 23 cm from cuff to finger tip. Mittens are 20cm measured round at base of fingers but have plenty of stretch. They can be gently machine washed at 30 degrees by a house elf.


Skull is not included, it belongs in the common room, sorry.

Buy them in my Etsy shop or contact me for a custom pair.

You're a bad man, Mr Malfoy

Lucius Malfoy is a bad, bad man. But he does have such lovely hair and a very good tailor, so we'll forgive him.

My Lucius Malfoy doll is approx 14 inches tall, and hand knitted (by me!) from my own design. He has an Edwardian-style smoking jacket with luxurious black trim and silver detailing. A grey cravat and obligatory evil-guy cane top off the outfit.

Lucius is lovingly made, but I'll warn you now, he'll be trouble. Don't keep him on the same shelf as your Muggle dolls. He's on sale in my Etsy shop for £32.

Professor Severus Snape knitting pattern

If you fancy knitting a Severus Snape doll of your own, you can now buy the knitting pattern in my Etsy shop for £5 plus P+P.


Severus is gloriously grumpy, and knits up on 4mm needles, using the double knitting yarn of your choice.

This 8 page knitting pattern has a fittingly gothic feel and is printed on the sort of parchment paper that would be perfect for a potions essay. It's hand assembled, with a colour photo of Severus on the front.
