This Harry Potter baby blanket is perfect for the budding witch or wizard in your life! Tucked snugly under this blanket every night, your little one will be ready for Hogwarts in no time.
Read on for more information on my Harry Potter crochet baby blanket, the charts JPG format, and instructions on how to read the charts and construct the blanket. Or click here to skip straight to the charts!
All details below are based on US crochet terms. I made the blanket charts based on crochet, but it works well for knitting too.
Finished dimensions of blanket: Approx. 1 metre by 1 metre, and slightly taller than it is wide.
The gauge doesn’t matter other than the fact that a tighter gauge will make a slightly smaller blanket, and vice versa.
There are four separate chart files, which each needs to be printed and taped together to make one large chart. You will work from right to left and bottom to top, not counting the chain. Each chart is 65 pixels (stitches) across and 70 up, so when taped together the total chart is 130 stitches across and 140 rows tall.
Start by chaining 131 in black, then the first stitch of the first row is the first pixel in the bottom right corner of the chart. One pixel corresponds to one single crochet. For the odd rows you’ll be working from the front, and for the even rows you’ll flip it and be working from the back. Make sure the ends are always hanging to the back/wrong side of the blanket – so sometimes they will be facing you, and other times they will be on the other side from you.
I subdivided each chart into 5×5 boxes since it helps me count my stitches. I like to make a little mark beside each row so I know which direction I’m going, and I cross off/scribble out each row in sharpie as I finish them. Like this:
There are various techniques for changing colours, so it really just depends on your preference and whether or not you care about what the back looks like. I’ve detailed a couple of options below, with the pros and cons of each method.
Due to the nature of crochet stitches there tends to be gaps sometimes between colour changes. I just fill in the gaps after with yarn – often using the yarn ends, since I have to weave those in anyway.
Click on the picture or caption to download the charts. Print each one, trim the white off where needed, then tape carefully together so make one big chart. The background is in black, but I’ve left it white so you don’t have to print out all that black!

Thank you so much for this patern!!
Thank you for your generosity in sharing the pattern for the HP medallion. My DIL was thrilled!
That’s awesome, Mary! I’m glad you (and she) liked it. 🙂
What kind of stitch is that?
Hi Gisele,
It’s Single Crochet. 🙂

How long did it take you to make?
Ahh good question! Honestly it was a couple of years ago and the actual blanket wasn’t made by me, I designed the chart and my ex made it. I can’t remember how long it took her – maybe a few weeks? It’s a bit finicky because of all the colour changes, so although it’s not too big each row can take awhile. I’d give yourself at least a few weeks if you have a deadline. 🙂
Hello, I love this blanket! Was wondering if you have a pattern for a double or queen bed. Or can this pattern be altered?
Thanks, toni
Hi Toni,
Thanks, I’m glad you like it! Unfortunately I don’t have a pattern for a double or queen bed, and it’s not easily alterable. You could try making it with a bulky yarn and a big hook and then adding some extra borders or something? I don’t think it would make it substantially bigger, but you could probably make it couch throw sized at least. 🙂
