DESCRIPTION
Moon Castle is a design that celebrates my childhood and the beauty of growth. The castle design, along with the crescent moon, is inspired by the Sailor Moon Anime and Manga.
There is a lot of great imagery to choose from, but ultimately I went with the Moon Kingdom, home of the Moon people, ruled by Queen Serenity, it was located in Mare Serenitatis (The Sea of Serenity).
It has a fairy-tale appearance, perfect for a tee.
The tee also features a crescent moon on the back.
Are you ready to fight evil by moonlight, to win love by daylight, and to never run from a real fight? Then you’re ready for the one named Sailor Moon!

This tee is knit from the bottom up in the round, starting with a garter stitch border.
The instructions are both written and charted.
The back and front are separated and worked back and forth in stockinette stitch; the shoulders are grafted together with Kitchener stitch.
Stitches are picked up for the neckband and armholes and are finished in garter stitch.
