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!

I love these mitts - I modified your pattern a bit to make them "glittens" and I also used the chart to make a matching hat! Thanks so much for an awesome pattern!!
Aww, thanks...I'm glad you liked the pattern! There is so little Hufflepuff love in the universe. I felt compelled to spread a little around ;)
I adore this pattern! I'm nearly done with the first (all I have left is the thumb), and I'm hoping to have the pair done by this Friday, so I can wear them for my birthday :)
I also modified them a bit to make cutoff fingers, and I'm a little proud, since it's my first semi-major pattern mod.
Lovelovelove!! :D
