How to Knit an 18-inch Doll Scarf Inspired by Harry Potter

Are your kids into 18-inch doll crafts? Do they like Harry Potter?

Learn how to knit a scarf for an 18" doll with our free pattern.

We inspired our scarves after the colors in the Harry Potter house colors but these scarves could be made in your favorite colors, team colors or school colors.  This is a wonderful project to teach a child to knit. Pick out two colors of yarn, knitting needles and teach knitting!

Since only basic knitting skills are needed - how to cast on, the knit stitch and how to bind off - this is an excellent project for teaching a child how to knit.

To make a knit scarf you need: Yarn, size 10 knitting needles, tapestry needle and crochet hook.

Hogwarts House Colors: Hufflepuff - yellow and black, Gryffindor - red and gold, Ravenclaw - blue and grey and Slytherin - green and grey.

Step 4: Weave in Yarn Tails

Thread the yarn tails onto a tapestry or yarn needle.  Weave yarn tails into the scarf.

Trim the yarn ends with a scissor.

Step 5: Create Fringe

Lastly, add some fringe to the short ends of the scarf.

Cut a piece of yarn 4" long.  Fold the yarn in half with the ends together.

Take a crochet hook and put it through a hole on the the scarf along the short end.  Loop the 4" yarn around the hook and pull it through to make a loop.

Loop the ends of the yarn across the hook and use it to pull the yarn ends through the loop.

Pull the ends so the loop tightens.  Add more fringe across the short end of the scarf.

The scarf is ready for your doll to wear!
