The Golden Snitch

So.... have you gotten your Hogwarts letter yet?, yeah me neither.......

Well hopefully this will entertain you till then! If your a Harry Potter fan or know a Harry Potter fan then you will love this pattern! This is the golden snitch pattern by Heather Smith aka ambiguousginger! I did change the amount of rows in the middle of the ball because of the size though but other than that its completely their pattern. This is a super quick super fun fast gift or just a fun little time passer! It comes in handy when your in quarantine too! This should be a perfect pattern for newcomers to crochet as it is extremely simple! I am also selling these guys on my Facebook page Every Little Stitch Counts and 50% of profits go to 3 different charities so be sure to check that out! 150 POINTS TO GRYFFINDOR!!!! Enjoy!!!
