Any Harry Potter fans out there?
I have a treat for you. Here's my Harry Potter and Hedwig doll set!
The Harry Potter inspired doll is a cute, pocket-sized yarn version of the beloved wizard character. He’s an adorable boy doll, especially miniaturized as a tiny, little amigurumi, would you agree? He's so small, in fact, that it was hard for me to make a red and gold Gryffindor scarf for his size. This was the smallest I could manage, and it still looks pretty darn big next to Harry!
With this pattern, you even get Harry's pet snowy owl, immortalized as this cute, pint-sized version! I think this yarny Hedwig is probably my smallest amigurumi animal to date. His height is just a wee 1.5 inches (under 4 centimeters).
This pattern is...
- Beginner-friendly
- Quick to work up
- Pocket-sized and easy to carry around
- Great for using up scrap yarns (in other words, an awesome "stashbuster"!)
Make this project for...
Anyone who'd love this fun, little doll set! It is perfect for both kids and adults alike. Little hands will find these small toys to be fun to play with. The Harry Potter and Hedwig dolls can also be great to gift as a collectible to older children or adults who are Harry Potter fans. With their petite sizes, they can conveniently be displayed as art dolls without taking up much space!
