So.... have you gotten your Hogwarts letter yet?, yeah me neither.......
Well hopefully this will entertain you till then! If your a Harry Potter fan or know a Harry Potter fan then you will love this pattern! This is the golden snitch pattern by Heather Smith aka ambiguousginger! I did change the amount of rows in the middle of the ball because of the size though but other than that its completely their pattern. This is a super quick super fun fast gift or just a fun little time passer! It comes in handy when your in quarantine too!
