From the title you should have guessed it, twas a Gryffindor Scarf.
I got the idea after seeing Denise knitting hers. I used the Prizoner of Azkaban pattern and knit it using Plymouth Encore yarn, which is 75% acrylic & 25% wool. It is very soft and the colors are quite brilliant.
I used size 7 needles, so I only cast on 60sts and did 12 repeats, instead of 14.
As an added touch, I got a wonderful Gryffindor Crest patch from Patch Palace (also recommended by Denise). I was initially thinking of intarsia knitting the crest, but I eventually came to my senses.
Below are my sister's reaction and the finished product. I am very happy with the finished project, and even happier to know my sister loves it & is the envy of her friends! XD
And, just because I can, Kitty PIC!

Great job, great reaction! I'll have to quiz you on how you attached the patch. Karen D (who found them online originally) has an extra one for me.
That is one pleased-looking puss, too, BTW.
Hey!
Wonderful job. ( :
I've been looking for this pattern!
The website, knit atypically, has been down for some time now.
Do you by any chance still have the pattern for this?
I would really appreciate it!
Awesome scarf!
it looks like it's available on archive... http://web.archive.org/web/20080601221859/knit.atypically.net/scarves/azkaban/pattern.shtml
if the link doesn't work I suggest searching for "Prisoner Of Azkaban Scarf" on the pattern page on Ravelry.
Happy Knitting!
