Satisfy Your Inner Wizard With Harry Potter Cross Stitch Kits

By: Julia Wigham

Renowned author J. K. Rowling has dominated the literary field since "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" debuted in 1997. Despite the popularity of the novels, there are few available Harry Potter Cross Stitch Kits related to the series. Book and movie fans have now begun to create their own designs.

All across the Internet, you see people talking about their desire to stitch something from this popular book/movie series. The demand is definitely worth looking into by any of the cross stitch publishers. I'm sure if any of these companies were to produce Harry Potter cross stitch kits, they would literally fly out the doors to stitchers all over the world.

One craft enthusiast has produced Harry Potter graphs for knitting or crocheting afghans. While these graphs are not specifically for cross stitch, with the designer's permission, they could be adapted. Her patterns may be viewed at this web site: http://groups.msn.com/louisesinbreipatronen.msnw.

A group of crafters has even started a yahoo group for Harry Potter crafts. Search groups.yahoo.com and input "Harry Potter crafts" to find the group. Of course, you will have to sign up for the group, but you might be able to find something to meet your Harry Potter crafting needs.

Within the Yahoo Harry Potter Crafts group, you will find a link to "The Leaky Cauldron," a Harry Potter-themed web site. Forum members have posted craft patterns for plastic canvas that can be adapted to cross stitch. In addition, there are patterns for knit and crochet on this forum. However, although the designs are creative, the patterns might not satisfy many avid cross stitchers.

Cross Stitch Direct, a cross stitch company based out of Bromsgrove, UK, has had access to a Harry Potter cross stitch booklet produced by Mango Practique (written by Frdrique Deviller). This booklet has over 60 counted cross stitch patterns, but it is not a cross stitch kit. It is quite possible the book is no longer in print and on many forums they are regarded as being rare.

Many stitchers prefer a kit containing all the necessary supplies for completing a project. At this point, there have not been any authorized Harry Potter cross stitch kits available. Several people have created Harry Potter cross stitch designs that they are selling on eBay. This might be your only option if you are looking for Harry Potter cross stitch patterns.
