“You might belong in Gryffindor, Where dwell the brave at heart, Their daring, nerve, and chivalry Set Gryffindors apart;”
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone
Seriously, who wouldn’t want to be in Gryffindor? Brave, daring, nervy, and chivalrous. I’m not sure that I actually would have been sorted into Gryffindor, but I sure would have aspired to it! I like to think that I’m clever enough that Ravenclaw would also be an option for me. But let’s be honest, I’m not very bold and don’t like solving riddles. I am, however, quite loyal and just, so Hufflepuff is likely the house for me! With which Hogwarts House do you identify?
This Gryffindor C2C Crochet Border Panel is pretty straightforward. You’ll notice that it has 77 squares instead of the 75 squares that are the equivalent of 3 blocks. This is because I am allowing for the black sashing that we’ll be adding later around each square. If you don’t want sashing around each block (not recommended), then leave off one column on the right and left of the panel.
Next month we’ll crochet the final border panel in the Harry Potter Gryffindors C2C Crochet Afghan.
You can find the other Gryffindor Block of the Month Afghan blocks and panels here:
- Harry Potter
- Hermione Granger
- Ronald Weasley
- Neville Longbottom
- the Gryffindor Lion
- Parvati Patil
- Lavender Brown
- Dean Thomas
- Seamus Finnegan
- Brave at Heart panel
Once we’ve finished the border panels, we’ll finish things up with Harry Potter Gryffindors C2C Crochet Afghan—Joining and Edging.
Gryffindors Border Panel
Materials
~Gryffindors 13×77 Pixel Graph
~ Lion Brand Vanna’s Choice Yarn 3.5 oz skeins in the following colors (amounts are approximations):
- Cranberry (dark red) — 8.8 ounces

Crochet the square starting from the bottom right corner of the chart. Row-by-row written instructions are below.
After you finish crocheting the block, crochet one row of single crochet in CRANBERRY around the entire block. See Adding a Single Crochet Edge around a Finished C2C Block for how I crochet around the edge.
One more month and we’ll have everything we need to put together the Harry Potter Gryffindors C2C Crochet Afghan! I hope you’re super excited because the finished blanket is awesome!
See you in November for the Brave at Heart Border Panel!
