Who doesn’t need a knitted gothic angel outfit??

You will actually get two knitting patterns: one for the vest top and arm-warmers, the other for the wings, which includes instructions for making a frame and harness.

The wings are one size, and are approximately 74cm / 29in long, and 66cm / 26in at their widest point.
Vest sizes - S (M, L, XL, XXL):
Chest: 86 (94, 104, 114, 124)cm / 34 (37, 41, 45, 49)in
Waist: 76 (84, 94, 104, 114)cm / 30 (33, 37, 41, 45)in
Length: 50 (53, 54.5, 55.5, 57)cm / 19.5 (21, 21.5, 22, 22.5)in
The arm-warmers are 20cm / 8in around the hand, and 24cm / 9.5 around the arm, but there are instructions for altering the size.

Materials:
Vest: 550-880m / 600-960yrds DK yarn
Arm-warmers: 180m / 198yrds DK yarn
I used Rico Cotton Essentials for these.

Wings: 750 / 820yrds DK yarn - I used acrylic for this, as it’s more lightweight.
You will also need:

  • 6 poppers / press studs
  • 2m / 2.25yrds 2mm craft wire (and some pliers!)
  • black tape
  • webbing or cotton tape
  • a rucksack clip or buckle
  • 3 keyring clips

Please note that this is designed for adults, and the harness is therefore designed to under and between breast or pecs: it may not be comfortable for a child!
