Free Gothic Crochet Patterns for Gloves and Arm Warmers
1. Fishnet Opera Sleeves
Black and mesh are like the 2 main pillars of goth fashion. Sleeves are an especially nice project to make, since you can wear them over and over again paired with all sorts of different outfits. Try them in red or pink to add a pop of color to your all black attire. Or just add a little accent color on the top of the sleeves like this designer did.
