Magnets with Hedwig and Super Mario

(Mönster på svenska finns här.)

I created refrigerator magnets as gifts and I’ll share the patterns below. They are fast and easy to make!

I made Hedwig from Harry Potter in a mini format. (I have a big one as well that I made for my son.) Super Mario is very popular in our home and I made a version of the Mario mushroom and the star.

When I attach magnets to my crocheted projects I take piece of sheer white cloth and sew it over the magnet in the back. That way I don’t have to use glue that can damage the thread.

The patterns are in american english.
