Story of the creation
The Golden Snitch pattern is a rearrangement of the Fairies from The Legend of Zelda : I redesigned the wings to make them thinner and longer. Furthermore, being a Harry Potter fan, I couldn't help but create a pattern in the effigy of this saga !
I wish you a good crochet time !
Accompaniment
A little playlist to listen to during the conception of your precious Golden Snitch :
Useful informations
- This pattern is written in US terms.
- I chose to use Azuro yarn color 327-3 for its golden and shiny aspect. However, it is possible that we may not be able to find it anymore. In all cases, you can use any yarn as long as it is yellow / gold (for the ball) and white (for the wings), with one or more corresponding hook(s).
- The Golden Snitch measures about 2,8cm (1.1") by 6cm (2.36") when its wings are backwards as shown in the main photo.
- The ball is worked in the spiral : don't close the rounds with a slip stitch.
- Feel free to tick the small next to the rows when you have finished them !
