R3: 18

Side-Swept Fringe Panel
Cut 12–16 strands (5–6 cm).
Sew along right front hairline in a diagonal band.
Lay them toward the left eyebrow direction to recreate the soft swoop.
Trim for shape.

🧣 Gryffindor Scarf (burgundy + gold stripes)
This is a thick, simple, bold strip — the key photo element.
With burgundy:
ch 45
R1: sc 44
R2: switch to gold, sc 44
R3: gold, sc 44
R4–5: burgundy, sc 44
R6–7: gold, sc 44
R8–9: burgundy, sc 44
(Continue this 2-row striping until scarf is ~20–22 cm long)
FO.
Wrap once around neck, both ends hanging forward.
Tuck ends under front of robe slightly.
Scarf edges must slightly protrude past robe collar for photo match.
🧥 Black Robe (straight, simple, with horizontal hem stripes)
Base Robe
Black chenille.
ch 36
R1: sc 35
R2–22: sc 35
This makes the robe length long enough to cover torso and most of legs, just like photo.
FO.
Drape robe over doll’s shoulders.
The robe is an open-front rectangle, not tapered, not panel-shaped.
Stitch shoulders to top of body so robe does not slide.
Do not sew sides closed — it should hang straight.
Hem Stripes
Add two thick horizontal stripes at bottom edge:
Attach burgundy at lower hem:
R1: sc across entire robe width
Switch to gold:
R2: sc across
Switch to burgundy again:
R3: sc across
This creates the bold triple-stripe trim visible in the photo.
If you see sleeve-edge color trim on your model, you may add thin single burgundy lines at sleeve ends.
Otherwise sleeves stay solid black.
🛡 House Crest (embroidered on left chest)
Using burgundy, surface stitch a small shield shape on the left chest of the robe (not the scarf).
Outline in gold all around.
Fill center with a simple gold lion suggestion:
-
vertical central line
-
short diagonal mane lines
-
tiny paw ticks
Keep crest small (approx. 1.5 cm tall).
Position crest just above mid-chest and slightly toward left side.
🪄 Wand (dark brown, tapered handle)
MR, 5
R2–8: 5 sc
R9: inc in 1 st = 6
R10: 6 sc
Add single gold band:
R11: 6 sc in gold
Switch brown:
R12–14: 5 sc
Stuff lightly.
Attach to right hand pointing outward.
😌 Facial Finish
Brows:
Short, simple, slightly angled brown lines placed just above eyes.
Mouth:
Tiny straight dark stitch.
Optional soft blush under eyes.
This matches the calm, gentle expression in the photo.
🧵 Final Assembly
-
Sew head firmly to body.
-
Attach arms.
-
Add legs to bottom of body.
-
Place robe and stitch shoulders to secure, leaving all other parts open and loose.
-
Embroider crest onto left robe chest.
-
Wrap scarf once around neck so both ends hang forward (do not tie).
-
Adjust hair fringe to sweep across forehead.
-
Stitch wand into right hand.
The robe should fall low, with stripes clear, legs only slightly visible, and shoes peeking below hem — exactly like the photo.
☕ Display Styling
Tilt head slightly left or right.
Make sure scarf ends remain in front.
Keep crest neatly centered under scarf edge.
Let robe hem flare naturally.
