Geeky Lolita made this incredibly cute Snape! I love the additional facial features! He looks just like the grumpy Snape we all know and love!
i am having trouble with the cloak.
Row 25: 1 ch, 2 sc, 6 ch, skip 3 stitches, 40 sc, 6 ch, skip 3 stitches, 2 sc (26) especially.
I get the 1 ch, 2 sc, 6 ch, and skip 3 stitches but where does the 40 sc come in and how do I end up with 26 stitches. Help!
Eeek! What a difference a single number can make! Sorry, it should be 10 sc not 40! In the next row you then sc the sc stitches from this row and sc in the chain stitches too. Hope that helps and sorry for the confusion! I’ve fixed it up in the pattern now too 🙂 Thanks for letting me know!
Thank you so much. I was just getting too tired to figure it out. Happy crocheting!
I’m having trouble with the hair. Not sure of method used to dec on row 11 and I end up with a part on left side. Length is longer than pic shows. Can you help me?
The decreases are made by dc two stitches together. Your tension might be a bit looser than mine – if it’s turning out too long just leave off the last row. Hope that helps 🙂
Thank you for the Harry Potter pattern
Is Harry Potter the only knit one ? I need all of them in knit, please respond. Thank you.
Sorry, Harry is the only knitted one currently
