Hobbie's Knitting Pattern Collection

For those fans who prefer to knit their own wizard wear, we added knitting patterns for vests, school sweaters, cardigans and team sweaters too!

The pattern collection has grown to include knitting instructions for everyone from the littlest wizards to children and adults, up to plus sizes.

Our first pattern was for a Wizard School uniform vest - for all wizards who live in warmer climates.

It's been popular with those who want to knit up a quick holiday present or a costume prop for Halloween.

How about a cardigan vest? It's one of our knitting pattern.

Vests are a nice alternative to the long sleeved wizard school sweater when you consider that most cons and wizarding events take place during summer months when long sleeves are not really needed.

Our "collection" includes several vest and sweater sizes as well as the a pattern for both the "PoA" and "OOTP" style cardigan.

Don't forget the knitting patterns for children.

We will soon be adding a pattern for the buttoned raglan pullover. This child sized raglan is knit with Patons© Classic Merino wool with an ultra-suede appliqué letter.

All patterns are available in standard, "Medium" sizes but we'll be happy to draft one in a specific size.

We designed the knitting patterns to be "generic" in nature...knit with economical yarns available at retail stores such as Joann and easily customized by knitters of all skill levels but easy enough for beginners with knowledge of basic knitting techniques.

We also assume that this basic knitting knowledge includes the ability to cast on, cast off, increase and decrease stitches, make minor adjustments [such as shortening/lengthening the sweater body and sleeves] to the pattern to suit your "fit" preference and to change colors.

Hobbie's entire collection of knitting patterns can now be found on a single website page, with patterns listed in categories.

Access to the membership site provide you with:

Knitting patterns in standard sizes, specifically designed as "Wizard Wear".

Designs which can be adapted to other purposes, such as for school uniforms.

Patterns that include a listing of required materials with approximate amount needed to complete the project.

Detailed lists of yarn colors in authentic looking "Harry Potter©" colors to reproduce the sweaters as accurately as possible

Instructions include detailed directions for increases and decreases.

Ever wondered how we set our prices at Hobbie's House of Wizard Wear? We've been in the custom knitting business since 1975 but when it comes to getting the price right, we made sure to make our price sell. Do you sell hand made crafts? Send for the master course. You'll be glad you did.

The school uniform knits are basically stocking stitch and 1 by 1 ribbing. The stripe pattern is nothing more than a change in yarn colors. It's worth a visit to explore Knit & Crochet at Joann.com.
