If you want to knit a special gift for a Harry Potter or a Twilight fan or if your tween or teen is a knitter and fan, I have two special knitting books to recommend.
Charmed Knits: Projects for Fans of Harry Potter is full of knitting patterns and instructions for unique projects that fans of the Harry Potter series will enjoy making or receiving. The projects range from those requiring strong basic knitting skills to projects for intermediate knitters to projects considered "Nastily Exhausting," for advanced knitters. Projects include scarves, mittens, and socks in House colors, the Weasley Sweater, a Wizard Robe, an Invisibility Shawl, Harry's Red Cable Sweater, and Hermione's Cable and Bobble Hat.
Vampire Knits: Projects to Keep You Knitting from Twilight to Dawn is a witty and entertaining pattern book of knits that teen fans of the Twilight Saga and other Dark Fantasy Books for Teens will enjoy knitting or receiving. The emphasis is on accessories, although there is a hooded cowl pattern and a child's sweater pattern. Along with the 28 detailed knitting patterns, author Genevieve Miller has included some vampire trivia. For more knitting patterns, see my Top Knitting Books for Kids and Teens list.
