The recipe is the style, not the picture. Put your own subject in and the highlighted part of the prompt changes.

Prompt

A blocky character rendered entirely as knitted stitches: a figure in a patterned jacket and cap where every pixel is a visible V shaped wool loop, colour changes stepping in hard squares as on a knitting chart. Bright blue, red and teal wool on a flat blue ground, fibres slightly fuzzing the edges, the whole surface reading as textile. Pixel art and knitwear at the same time.
