What It Is

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.

On cross stitch forums across the internet, you’re likely to find people asking about Harry Potter cross stitch kits. They may even ask if anyone has created cross stitch patterns of their own, just to meet this desire for anything having to do with the popular book and movie series. Since there is such an outcry by Harry Potter cross stitch enthusiasts for patterns and kits, will there be a cross stitch kit manufacturer to step up to the plate and make them?

One person loved the series enough to create her own charts to be used for knitting and crocheting afghans. These patterns while not specifically made for cross stitch, could probably still be used to stitch a wonderful finished piece. By doing a general search on the Internet, I’m sure you would be able to find these graphs and patterns and maybe even join a group or two to share your love of Harry Potter craft projects, as well as just your interest in the series in general.

There are actually quite a few Harry Potter groups in the Internet crafting world. You must register for these groups before you can read or post anything. However, the plus sides to joining are that it’s free, and it’s a great way to maybe discover new patterns that you didn’t know existed. People on these groups are usually really friendly, and it’s a remarkable way to connect people from everywhere in the world by bringing them together to discuss their common interest. It’s amazing to see how many people share the same love for Harry Potter.

There is a particular forum that can be found on The Leaky Cauldron online. The owners of the site have created several plastic canvas patterns, as well as the forum solely dedicated to Harry Potter. Although plastic canvas patterns can be used for cross stitch projects, the experienced stitcher probably won’t be satisfied with the finished results they achieve from using one of these plastic canvas patterns.

Cross Stitch Direct, a cross stitch company based in Bromsgrove, UK, at some point, had access to a Harry Potter cross stitch book published by Mango Practique. The book, authored by Frdrique Deviller, containing over 60 patterns with instructions in French, may be out of print. Whether or not it is available, contributors to several cross stitch forums regard the book as quite rare. In addition, those who have purchased the book report difficulty in using the charts.

A lot of stitchers prefer the ease of cross stitch kits because all the materials you need are provided. The convenience of a kit draws a lot of customers due to the time and money saved as opposed to buying everything separately. To date, there have been no official Harry Potter Cross Stitch Kits offered for sale by any cross stitch company. This is something they should definitely consider doing; there’s a definite market for it. There have been a few individuals putting together their own kits and selling them on a popular auction site online. For right now, this may be the only way to satisfy your craving to stitch a Harry Potter design.
