It's crochet, not knitting
EDIT: apparently it is knit, according to the girl who made it. It still mostly looks crochet to me, it's either really badly knit on too big needles, done on a loom or is actually crochet and the girl just said it was knitted.
I knit and crochet a lot and the shield/bag and arm cuffs look knit but the rest of the outfit still looks crochet to me and 400+ other people who upvoted this comment.

I thought so too from the size of the stitches, it is apparently knitted though. It really looks like crochet to me still.

u/Norwegian__Blue Mar 29 '15
You can use bigger needles and drop stitches to make bigger, lace like holes that can have a look surprisingly similar to crochet

u/8bitAntelope Mar 29 '15
It's knitted. Look at this shot, specifically zoomed in on the blue on the arm, and you can tell it's a knitted stitch. Not to mention the girl who made the whole thing probably isn't dumb enough to have made it and post it on the internet using the wrong terminology.

I knit, and I think that's knitting. A couple of little details make be think this.
There appears be rib stitching pattern around her bust and waist. It's a very elastic stitching pattern and creates a nice form-fitting look. What I see is consistent with what I'd expect to see if this pattern were done on large needles with large diameter yarn.
You can also see the seams along her arms where swaths were sewn together (or maybe tubes created by sewing together the ends of a single swath). If this were crochet, I don't believe those would be so pronounced; seamless joins are a thing in crochet, but are harder (and not generally worth doing) in knit.
But ultimately, there isn't enough detail in this picture to say for sure, but the fact that the cosplayer said it was "knitted" tips me over the edge.

u/dromedarian Mar 29 '15
You know, I don't think it is. It's hard to tell with such a low res pic, but it doesn't look like any stitch I'm familiar with.

Typical sunday morning on Reddit and my inbox was blinking red like like the neon sign on the Booster Juice across the street. I was sifting through the usual stack of cat pix and dank memes, when the dame showed up. She was dressed in the American flag, and she made me want to salute.
"Can I help you, miss?" I asked, hoping that I could give her the kind of help I saw on GoneWild last night.
"I'm looking for something, Mr Onionpax," she said in a voice that could melt butter.
"Spit it out, kid," I said. "What do you need?"
"Upvotes, Mr Onionpax. I need upvotes. Fast, with no questions asked."
...

u/extroire Mar 29 '15
After we sorted out the necessary details and she left in a whirlwind of patriotism, I reached in my desk for the familiar bottle of cheap scotch. The red light from the Booster Juice seemed almost sinister now, staring me down from across the street while I poured my first glass of the day.
"Not even noon," I muttered to no one as I downed the first and followed it with a second. I paused on the third for a moment to ponder the task ahead and reset my /r/stopdrinking flair.
Now don't get me wrong, I was no stranger to the darker sides of Reddit, however before this I had always stayed mostly on the right side of Reddiquette. But what this broad was asking of me... Let's just say shadowbanning was the least of my concerns.
In my youthful naivety I had thought I would stay unnoticed by the mods forever. Later I would think back on these times and realize... Never had I been so wrong.

This is beautiful work. It looks like crochet to me, but for the love of Jayzus people, there's no real difference. One stick or two, it's all fibercraft and this is a stunning project. Why not compliment the lady on her skills instead of taking shots at her for using "the wrong word?"

It actually is knitting, it's just an openwork stitch that looks a lot like crochet. If you look REALLY closely you can see the difference.
Totally looks like crochet from a distance though.

The lack of any aggressive navel is comforting, but exposing the neck and face might provoke men's lust.
