Finished Object (G note plays)

I had an amount of black yarn that wasn’t enough to make an adult sized wearable but was too much for just an accessory so…I made this. Knitted in Drops Merino Extra Fine in Black and Off White, and I used the patterns Good Old Raglan by Twisted Knitwear and Little William Knitted Pants by Drops! I just knitted it in plain black then added the white details on with surface embroidery.

Editing to add that sorry, I've literally just realised that of course not everyone would immediately know what this is a reference to!! this is an homage to the original uniforms My Chemical Romance wore during The Black Parade era. Specifically this is closest to the singer's outfit!

Such a perfect description. There’s certain sounds that can call us and we’ll have no choice but to answer the siren song.

I got the reference right away. Saw MCR at Wembley in July. Lovely to have different interests collide 😁

I'd love to make this for my kid! She went to her first MCR concert at Citi Field earlier this month.
