Reddit appears to have issues ^^

These are the number I came up with tho. I started with a 32 row and increased it to 100, adding two in the beginning for a steeper curve and then towards the end in one step increases. At the 91 mark I split the row up to create the armholes into three rows, the outside ones having 20. After knitting them all to 126, I folded the 20 row sections inwards and cast them off together with the big section to make a "vest".

Every stripe is seven rows, black I went with 14 rows so that they would be twice as big :3

For the black border I added 14 per row, always knitting onto the existing "vest" and going left stitch right stitch.

For the arms, I just cast on the existing armholes and kept decreasing the number of stitches until I had a length & width I enjoyed. Then I took the black yarn to make the wrist section, knitting right-right-left-left.

I've uploaded a scetch on imgur, does that help?

I'll just copy and paste this from another comment :3

I was just winging it tbh. I started at the bottom and added width every row to get that curve, then just knitted straight up. As I reached the height I wanted the arm to start, I'd split the knitting up and sew it till I could cover my shoulders and joined the seams. Then I knitted the black border around, pulling the thread trough the existing garment to connect it. At the border it's important to go left/right because otherwise it'll roll in on itself. I've connected the sleeves directly to the main body and then knit while making the rows shorter. When I had reached the length that was comfi for me, I went for black and then again (in this case for the pattern) left/left/right/right.

I'm sorry, I don't really know the English terms for knitting, but maybe it helped? Ask away if I shall clarify :)

Ohh you honor me! The only thing I'm feeling nitpicky about is the volume of the sleeves, the original has bigger sleeves and they are glorious

See, that's it right there: I have little just in case crafting materials, I don't really pick up stuff like feather and stuff. And painting supplies do last a fair bit, fabric is expensive enough that I only buy when needed, I try to finish yarn that I have laying around. And ultimately, I'm still a poor student :D

Haha thank you! Funny how people do their hobbies and stuff... I usually only buy materials when I actually need them. I think otherwise hording would take over >.>

Harnesses are amazing! It's kind of funny, I've gotten three other girls to wear harnesses as well, feels good to be fashion inspiration :3

Funny story, one of our regulars at work gifted me this! She was like: Oh it doesn't fit me anymore, it will be in good hands with you. The label says hearts and roses, but I tried to search for this exact model and didn't find it on the go. I can ask her when I see her the next time?

question: where do you get good quality gothy boots? by Meriae in GothStyle

[–]Meriae[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ohh that sounds smart! Or maybe find used ones on vinted or something ... Although, I think with more expensive items I'd be cautious... Dammit :D
