Harry Potter Dishcloth

Here is the Harry Potter themed dishcloth that I designed for the contest for the Hogwart's Sock/Scarf Kit Swap 3.

Gauge is not critically important and worsted weight cotton with size 7-8 needles as specified on the yarn band would work fine too (I just happened to find good colors for Ravenclaw in this yarn and I like this yarn).

The dishcloth has two strips of coordinating house color with diamonds much like the design on the covers of the Harry Potter books. In the center are the initials "HP" with the infamous lightening scar found on Harry's forehead.
