Final Fantasy Black Mage

This little guy was comissioned by a friend of mine.

I discovered that it is incredibly difficult to base a pattern off of a pixelated character because there's a huge lack of detail. Based on the images, I decided that the most important parts of the design were the shape of the sleeves, the slight collar, the hat (obviously), and getting the correct height to width proportions. I did some calculations to form a basic plan for number of stitches around, number of rows high, etc.; I adjusted all that while I worked of course. In the end, I think he came out really well. I'm almost tempted to keep him for myself...
