Potter Plaid Scarf #4
Slytherin


Every October, my husband and I have a Harry Potter movie marathon. This year, we didn’t get to finish the marathon until December, thanks to the arrival of our son. Now that it’s winter and scarves are necessary, I’m celebrating our Harry Potter marathon by completing the last two house scarves.

This crochet scarf pattern is inspired by the house colors of Slytherin, although you can choose any 3-color combination. You’ll crochet the scarf in an open mesh using dc and ch-1 sp. Once the base of the scarf is finished, you’ll weave long strands of yarn through the mesh to create the plaid look. This scarf is different than the other Potter Plaid scarves because the plaid is worked on the diagonal. Slytherins are cunning and a little different from their other-house peers, so I changed things up specifically for their scarf. Yes, it takes a little bit of time, but the end result is soft, drape-y, and chic…definitely worth the effort!

This crochet pattern comes with written instructions, a photo tutorial on appropriate weaving and fringe techniques, and a chart to show color placement for the plaid. You can also easily adjust this pattern to create a Harry Potter scarf to fit creatures of all sizes, from Dobby to Hagrid!
