Expecto Patronum! Mittens

First seen in *Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban*, the Patronus Charm is a highly advanced piece of defensive magic used to repel Dementors. The spell—*Expecto Patronum*—conjures a Patronus, which takes a unique form for each wizard and protects the wizard from the Dementor’s ill effects. Harry’s Patronus takes the form of a stag—just like his father’s. A lining is knit first for these enchanting mittens, starting with a provisional cast on. The mittens are then worked with separate charts for the right and left, which form the complete *Expecto Patronum* spell and Harry’s stag Patronus, also began with a provisional cast on. Once both pieces are completed, the cast on edges are joined with a three-needle bind off. Lace weight yarn is held double, creating a cozy and warm inner layer. When the wearer’s hands are together, the complete scene is on display. Mittens need 2 hanks of Spindrift in MC, 1 of CC, and 1 skein of Silk Cloud for lining held double. **Errata for first edition of English version:** Page 108 RIGHT MITTEN With crochet hook and waste yarn, ch 60 over dpn so back bump of each ch is worked around needle.
