House Mascot Hats

After being sorted into their appropriate houses by the Sorting Hat in *Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone*, students make their way to their common rooms as either a Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, or Slytherin. Founded by Godric Gryffindor with a lion as its mascot, Gryffindors possess bravery, daring, nerve, and chivalry. Their head of house is Professor McGonagall, and their entrance is guarded by the Fat Lady portrait. Some of the most famous members are Harry Potter and Albus Dumbledore. Founded by Helga Hufflepuff with a badger as its mascot, Hufflepuffs value hard work, loyalty, patience, dedication, and fairness. Their head of house is Professor Sprout, and one of their well-known members is Magizoologist and author Newt Scamander. Founded by Rowena Ravenclaw with an eagle as its mascot, Ravenclaw members are intelligent, curious, creative, and witty. With Professor Flitwick as the head of house, notable members are Luna Lovegood and Gilderoy Lockhart. Founded by Salazar Slytherin with a serpent as its mascot, Slytherins possess ambition, leadership, cunning, and self-preservation. Their head of house is Professor Snape with famous members Tom Riddle, Bellatrix Lestrange, and Draco Malfoy. House pride is very important at Hogwarts, and these hats help you show it off in style! Featuring a charted mascot for each house, this hat is worked in the round from the bottom up. Beginning with a short ribbed brim, the simple checkerboard motif makes it easy to size up or down, with four sizes provided in the pattern. A brave Gryffindor lion, cunning Slytherin serpent, wise Ravenclaw eagle, or loyal Hufflepuff badger are worked in conjunction with the checkerboard, while simple spiraling decreases close up the crown.
