Snidget

What exactly is a Snidget, you may wonder? If you're a fan of the Harry Potter series, you’ll recall the iconic Golden Snitch, which plays a crucial role in the thrilling game of Quidditch. Well, the snidget is a tiny, round, gold bird that was once used in a simpler version of the game before being replaced by the more well-known snitch. This enchanting backstory, crafted in one of the lively Harry Potter groups on Ravelry, adds a whimsical touch to our knitting project.

The group was inspired and challenged to create something that evokes the spirit of the snidget, leading to the design of this stunning hat. Its unique bulbous shape and textured stitches perfectly capture the roundness of the snidget and the softness reminiscent of its feathers.
