    Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

  • I'd be inclined to go with fleece. You can sew pin-tucks on the wrong side to get those ribs without adding more layers and making it a sweat factory.
    The hem and cuffs along with the puffiness in those areas will be more easily achieved by having a straight cut pattern and a wide elastic channel that isn't stretched a lot. This will give it that look without complex patterning.

  • When I look at this, I see Sweater Knit Fabric. You might even, maybe, possibly, (insert more uncertain words here) be lucky and find a wide-ribbed one like this somewhere, if the animu gods are with you.

  • Thank you guys for the replies. I'll take it all into consideration, this helped. ^^
