Fred and George Weasley King's Cross Sweaters, Sorcerer's Stone

We meet Fred and George in dark grey/blue mock turtleneck sweaters. While definitely not the last time the twins will dress alike (and use it to their advantage), it is our first time seeing them, together or apart, and we are met not with their sameness, but their trickster nature.

The sweaters the boys wear have raglan sleeves and a mock turtleneck, making them similar to - although not identical to - the traditional "Weasley sweater" all of Molly's children will wear time and again in the series.

While I didn't find a pattern specific to the twins' sweaters, I did find three sweaters whose construction is so similar as to be used easily for these sweaters.

Percy's King's Cross Station Sweater, Sorcerer's Stone

Percy's sweater is only seen in a few blurry shots, as we don't truly meet Percy until later in the series. A simple v-neck pullover with sewn on sleeves, the sweater appears to be knit from marled brown yarn, and fits a bit baggy - I'm assuming it is either a hand-me-down from one of the older Weasley boys, or it was made large to fit Percy for the entire year, if not longer.

While no pattern can be found for this specific sweater, because it is a more generic v-neck sweater, any pattern can be used to achieve this look.

Ginny's King's Cross Station Sweater, Sorcerer's Stone

While we only see Ginny in these moments at King's Cross in The Sorcerer's Stone, Ginny is wearing a Molly-made sweater just like most of her brothers. Ginny's cardigan appears to be made in a few asymmetrical color blocked pieces that are sewn together, giving the true feel of a "Molly Sweater".

I couldn't find a pattern for this sweater, but the pieced look wouldn't be hard to replicate on any cardigan pattern.

Molly Weasley's King's Cross Hat, Sorcerer's Stone

Along with wearing her fair isle cardigan in the first King's Cross meeting, Molly Weasley also wears a dark green cabled beret. It's hard to find a good screen capture of just the hat, and these are the best of the bunch.

You can tell from the first shot the hat has not only cables, but also several garter stitch sections within each cable, making the work intricate and fun. So many of the items attributed to Molly Weasley (or implied as having been made by her) feature distinct and difficult color work, but this hat features a more intricate stitch pattern instead. It is one of the few single-color items worn by Molly (or knitted by Molly) in the series of movies.

Molly Weasley's King's Cross Sweater, Sorcerer's Stone

The first time Harry meets Molly Weasley, she is wearing this amazing fair isle cardigan. From these first scenes, Molly's knit wear speaks to her desire to use every scrap, her love of color, and especially her fondness for the handmade.

A Ravelry search left me with no links to a pattern for this exact sweater,but the construction appears to be a basic seamed cardigan with an afterthought button band.

Harry Meets The Weasleys

Hand knit items aren't introduced to the Harry Potter world until Harry is at King's Cross Station, attempting to find Platform 9 3/4. It is there he sees the Weasleys for the first time, decked out in hand knits and headed for the train.

I love that the costume department brought hand knits into the movie with the Weasleys. This family has always represented comfort and home to Harry, much as knitted items do the very same for those of  us who knit them. And so it is no surprise that as Harry meets the people who will become his emotional family, we are visually treated to the comfort of hand knits for the first time.

Over the next week or so, I'll share the sweaters and hats shown in the King's Cross scene, as worn by the Weasleys, and hope to find some patterns as well!
