My first ever pattern...sort of.

so OH MY GOSH, I finished making this last night! I am so excited because I used a combination of two patterns to make this. I know it's more of a variation than a real pattern that I made but I'm still super excited! I am a Hufflepuff, alumni at this point, lol, but a Hufflepuff none the less. Here are the ravelry links to the two patters i used. Battenberg Cuffs and Alphabet Charts I used the cast on and bind off for the battenberg cuffs as well as the k/p stitching for the first two rows. After that i strictly used stockinette stitch, its the best stitch!, until the top most black stripe and then reverted back to the Battenberg cuff pattern.

I am horrible at counting stitches, so what should have been a cuff turned into an anklet, but that's good because i wanted one. On the plus side, the bottom of the cuff flairs out because i was knitting loosely and then tightened my stitches into the black stripes. I'll be making a Gryffindor one soon for my girlfriend =]

Hopefully i have time to make at least one more of these before the HP7.2 Premier =3

Adios mi amigas, bueno suerte.
