Deathly Hallows Washcloth

deathly hallows washcloth

A line, a triangle, a circle. More or less. Interpretation is left to the viewer. Invisibility, invinceability, and ability to raise the dead not guaranteed.

Materials

Worsted weight cotton (sample was made with Lion Cotton in white), about 60 yds

Needles that give you a gauge of 5 st/in. This is if you want to make a standard 9" cloth. If not, use needles that give you a fabric you like with the yarn you use. (The sample was made using US4/3.5mm.)

Yarn needle for weaving in ends

Please note:
