H is for Hufflepuff
Well, it's upon us folks - another summer of Harry Potter. What could be better, you ask? Nothing comes to mind.

To start off the summer right, I've designed some Hufflepuff themed gauntlets for the HPKCHC that I'm participating in on Ravelry. It's loads of fun, and has been a real boost for me in the imagination department!

Without further ado, I present for your knitting pleasure my pattern for "H is for Hufflepuff". I hope you enjoy, and if you find any mistakes please let me know!

Gauge
5 stitches and 6 rows per inch (2.54 cm)

why did you use double pointed knitting needles instead of circular knitting needles? do you think it would be a big deal if I used circular needles for them?
