Fannish knitting want

OK if anyone can hook me up with a knitting pattern for Okoye's sweater from Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, I will love you forever.

Okay so as far as I can see, there are two pieces (the bust holder and the neck/waist part) that were knit flat and then each one was twisted by flipping one end through the holes multiple times, and then the neck/waist piece was laid on top of the bust holder and sewn to the side pieces (which are ribbing). I think it would be pretty simple knitting, although the pattern has some shaping on the bust cups.

I agree with your analysis of the geometry. If I were Elizabeth Zimmerman that would be all I’d need!

I think if I looked at it long enough, I could knit a first draft. But I don't think I could write up a pattern.

Oh, wow, look at that! I can't imagine how complicated that would be to knit but it's amazing!
