Appearance
The Moby Knit is a multi-colored knitted sweater inspired by the 80's hippie culture, most notably the psychedelic design. The knit itself, along with it's cuffs, is black, covered with metallic stripes of various thickness and design, placed in an asymmetric manner. The most characteristic element is a pair of whales, with the left being metallic brown and the right pure white, visible in the middle, blowing water from their blowholes. Thin black seams precede the collar and hem.

Abilities
The Moby Knit comes with Ink Recovery Up as the primary ability when purchased from shop or ordered from Murch. When purchased from SplatNet 3, it comes with any other primary ability normally available to Clothing (with the exception of Ability Doubler). As a 2-star item, the Moby Knit comes with three additional slots for secondary abilities. The star level may be increased with Super Sea Snails for 1 (first), 1 (second), 5 (third), 10 (fourth), or 20 (fifth) Super Sea Snails per star, or by purchasing additional copies of it from Man-o'-Wardrobe for 10,000 (first), 30,000 (second), 50,000 (third), 100,000 (fourth), or 200,000 (fifth) Cash per star. Increasing the star level beyond 2 stars will increase the gear experience gained by a cumulative 3.333…% up to 10% additional experience at 5-star level. Since it is made by the Krak-On brand, it has a higher chance of rolling Swim Speed Up and a lower chance of rolling Sub Resistance Up to fill its secondary ability slots.
