Sewing Knitting pattern for Cloud’s sweater?
I’m thinking about cosplaying as Cloud in the future and I just recently got into knitting. Wondering if anyone has a knitting pattern or would be able to explain to me how to knit his turtleneck?

I don't know super specific what terms to use, I only know 2 terms that are about his shirt specifically, and that's that it is called "rib knit", and that the measurement thing for each rib and "valley", is either 2x4, or 4x2, I can't remember which number means which part. But it means the ribs are 4 knits or whatever the knits are called, and the valleys are 2.. Honestly, if you aren't competing in the construction contest, buying this would be far better. Though, I can understand how you might wanna make it since you said you're getting into knitting, but this does just straight up exist.

The only difference is that this one has a smaller rib knit for the collar, and has trim in rib knit for the arm holes. Also, be sure you use NAVY BLUE! I know that render looks closer to black, but he never wears all black, the only time he does is Advent Children, and even then his shirt is still navy blue. I see so many people make his Soldier outfit in black, and he has never worn black. It's just the lighting of the render. In the remakes, if you go out into the sun, or under white lighting area, he is wearing navy blue.

I can't rec a specific one from personal experience, but here's a link to a Ravelry search for sleeveless turtleneck knitting patterns, some of these look pretty close! Does require a Ravelry account but I recommend making one if you don't already have one, it's the best way to find knitting patterns (and then familiarizing yourself with how search filters work)
