Desperately Seeking a quick Harry Potter project? Simple and quick, made using only a few yards of worsted weight yarn and a little stuffing, the Golden Snitch works up faster than you can say Quidditch!

Described in the books as “tiny, about the size of a large walnut… bright gold with little fluttering silver wings,” the Snitch is the most valuable ball in a Quidditch game - and it is, by far, the most difficult to catch. Your crocheted version may not fly, but you’ll look far cooler carrying it than a mimbulus mimbletonia!
