I have been knitting some Hogwarts inspired items lately, and wanted to incorporate lettering. I looked high and low, but, to my astonishment, I couldn't find anyone who had charted the lettering for my knitting use. Therefore, I have spent the last couple of days hunched over my laptop, recreating, as faithfully as possible, the iconic Potter font in knit chart form. I know my fellow crafty fans will make great use of it, so I wanted to freely give it to you.
With a few exceptions (M, W, etc...) I have tried to block them in a simple 15x15 grid. This might make smaller items impossible, but you can't get a whole lot smaller without losing too much detail. If there is demand, I can post individual letters, but the resolution will be the same. I hope you guys enjoy using these!
Update:
I have also posted a chart for a
Twilight inspired font for the Twi-hards, and a
Doctor Who font for you Whovians.
How awesome! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteHi Amanda,
ReplyDeleteGreat letters to use but how do you download?
I'm not great at tech stuff honestly, but you should be able to right click to save the image. Let me know if you still have troubles, and I'll run it past the hubby. He's the techie type.
ReplyDeleteIf you click on the picture, it will show up at a greater resolution,and then you can sideclick nad save to My Pictures.
ReplyDeleteThank you!!
ReplyDeleteJust found these on Google Images, not sure how I am going to use them yet, but I love them! - Lori @LittleKnittle
ReplyDeleteThank you, thank you, thank you! :-)
ReplyDeleteYou are very welcome!
ReplyDeleteDid you make these by blocking out the actual potter letters? I was interested in making items and selling them (with your full permission of course) but I didn't want to be all over a copyright infringement if they were... lol.
ReplyDeleteI sat down for about a day with the font and a grid I made and blocked these out by hand. You may use them to make items to sell, but I ask that you not try to sell the pattern itself, and please do link to this page if you list your items for sale online. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteOf course! ANd thank you for the quick response. No I wouldn't sell the pattern itself, Mostly, I wanted to make a few scarves and I came across the letters and fell in love. I may only use them for gifts but I figured I would ask your permission first. And if they get sold online I will MOST DEFINITELY link to your site. Thank you again!
ReplyDeleteThanks! My kids asked me for Weasley sweaters, and I wasn't relishing creating the letters!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I'll be using the charts on hexipuffs. : )
ReplyDeleteThanks for the great letters, love all three and will use them, I will send you the finished project photos.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much. This is just what I was looking for. A first timer trying lettering.
ReplyDeletethank you so much- found the chart by chance, exactly what I need for my daughters birthday prezzy!
ReplyDeleteIm pretty new to knitting and wanted to make a cushion cover as a gift for a friend, she's a HP fan so I'm delighted to have found your alphabets. Thanks :)
ReplyDeleteok obviously im not as experienced as i thought, how do i increase the chart to put it on a sweater?
ReplyDeletethank you for the charts! i'm making a sweater for my kid and love the Weasley sweater look!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much!!!! <3 I'm making some Weasley sweaters for my Etsy shop @thewoolenlibrary, and this will be a tremendous help!
ReplyDeletewhat font is it
ReplyDeleteCan anyone tell me how I would work with these if I want them to be larger as they would likely be on a Weasley sweater?
