Hogwarts-inspired Knit Hat Pattern

This post may contain affiliate links.
Here, we are nothing if not proud representatives of our Hogwarts houses! I am a Ravenclaw, of course, while my husband is a Gryffindor. I have two boys, and I would like to think they follow in our footsteps, but they are a Slytherin and a Hufflepuff. It’s just undeniable.
So, Ravenclaw or not, I really like the Gryffindor house colors, so that is the one I started with for this pattern. The maroon and gold look great together, and they are usually a pretty good indication of a Potterhead. I decided to work up the Hufflepuff next, because that used the same gold from the Gryffindor. So, those are the lovelies in the photos.
Of course, you can make any size in any color combo you’d like. The pattern is a classic beanie – not too fitted, not too slouchy, worked in stockinette stitch as an homage to the Prisoner of Azkaban-era house scarves from the films. (I am not in any way affiliated with the books or films. I am just a fan. So, these are not “official” in any capacity.) Officially awesome, though. Haha.

So, these are a fun, quick knit with a little striping. You can work them in the round (like I did) or flat and seam them. Just be aware that if you work flat, you’ll need to knit the “right side” and purl the “wrong side,” as is the case with stockinette stitch (which is knitting each round if in the round).
Also, because of the stripes, you’ll want to make sure your seaming game is strong if you are working flat because you’ll want the stripes to line up. Seaming isn’t bad at all, though. I like this method: Mattress Stitch.

Blending my love for the Harry Potter series with my love for knitting, I’ve designed four knit hats representing each of the Hogwarts houses. These free Harry Potter knitting patterns are available for any crafter who’d love to rep Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff or Slytherin in the real world.
Animals are my favorite fair isle hat designs, so naturally, I was inspired by the symbols of each House. If you’d like a brush up on the basics of fair isle knitting in the round before you get started with one of these patterns, check out my guide on the technique!
Check out the Harry Potter knitting patterns I’ve made below:
Hufflepuff Knit Hat Pattern
Full disclosure: Hufflepuff is my House. And I’m proud of it. But I wasn’t sure about my ability to pull off a badger, which is a little harder to properly showcase in knit form. In the end, I’m really happy with the adorable badger face in my knit chart:

The Hufflepuff hat will require worsted weight yarn in black and yellow. While the added stars and symbols reduce the need to carry too much yarn, watch out for places to float your stitches when doing colorwork.

The final result is a warm, soft hat that screams Hufflepuff House, yet is cute enough in its own right, too. Don’t want to knit the hat yourself? Buy one from Holly G Hats!
Gryffindor Knit Hat Pattern
Gryffindors are bold and brave, so my knit hat pattern features three gold lions against a strong red background. If it looks familiar, you may notice that I’ve reused this chart from my Lannister hat in my Game of Thrones knitting series. It’s all about resourcefulness.

To knit this Gryffindor hat pattern, you’ll need worsted weight yarn in red and gold. Though I don’t quite have the raw courage to be part of this house, I’ll admit it’s one of my favorite designs in my Harry Potter knitting patterns.

Ravenclaw Knit Hat Pattern
Wit beyond treasure is man’s greatest treasure, but a warm, soft Ravenclaw hat can come pretty close. This blue and bronze hat is designed to show three ravens in flight against a bronze plaque. It’s a royal look worthy of the cleverest House.

Knitting the Ravenclaw hat requires worsted weight yarn in deep blue and bronze. I had trouble finding yarn in just the right shade, so my picture shows a more golden color. If you find a great bronze-colored yarn, let me know in the comments!

Slytherin Knit Hat Pattern
Fight against Slytherin’s bad rap with a lovely, warm hat that showcases Slytherin snakes in a softer light. I adored making this design, charting three vertical snakes against an emerald green background.

You’ll need emerald green and silver worsted weight yarn to pull off this pattern. I believe in Slytherin’s redemption, so I hope I put enough clever design into this chart to do the House justice.
