The Original Crocheted Vest Worn by Wednesday-@skeltonjohn on Insta |
If like me you are now inundated with requests for the pattern for the Checkered Crocheted Vest that Wednesday Addams is wearing in the NEW Netflix series Wednesday!
I First asked Who knows who crocheted the pieces worn by Wednesday because This crocheter NEEDS recognition!
I mean THE crocheted collar and cuffs Wednesday wore were INSANE crochet skills.Update: we found the original designer who shared that they cannot share the actual pattern.
As it was made for a designer John Alexander Skelton. Awhhh
So she cannot share the actual pattern, however, over on her tik tok.
PLEASE state the Original designer in any use online etc. @skeltonjohn on Insta.
Easy Crochet Snood Pattern |
As I said previously We’ve had some info shared about the check v neck that is worn on Wednesday.
I'll mix it in with what I have done to give you some ideas if you pondering making your own version.
- The original was worked in 2ply yarn with 2 strands being used in each row. (4ply if one strand)
- The squares were 5 cm x 5 cm.
The simple checked pattern with Black Panels - is made in one piece. |
I started with my desired HIP circumference with approx 2 inches on each side of ease and divided it by 10 for the bottom row of blocks
The original was made in panels! And sewn together!
I hate sewing so I wanted it all worked in one piece.
The colour changes were stranded and worked over the used colour.
If using th etapestry method with several balls of yarn ALWAYS TURN your work BACK the Way to Came to keep the yarn from tangling |
- 1 x Whole BACK Piece as per the pattern, and Omit Red squares from the Graph as shown for shoulders and neck.
- Then the front piece is divided Into a V-neck , you will work left hand v neck and right hand separately to the shoulders omitting the RED for shoulders.
I have made my Checkered V neck Vest in Acrylic Double Knit yarn and a 4.00mm
(Please note)
THIS IS PLUS SIZED for my Niece! And I am a very loose crocheter
Then I tried 'Floating' the yarn across. Nightmare! But it will be ok if your using a 2 ply yarn held together.
- For changing, colours make your single crochet to 2 loops left on the hook.
- Yarn over in NEW colour, pull through new colour.
Follow the direction as stated on the chart for changing the colours.
RED V = DECREACEING stitches on ONE SIDE for neck
And omit RED at sides for arm holes BOTH SIDES
Work in pattern for FULL 9 Complete Checkered patterns
Split Work in HALF as Shown on the graph at the point of RED V.
Working in a decrease of 2 PER V-neck Side, keeping ARM HOLES straight edges, work a further 6 Full checks,
Right Hand FRONT |
NOTES:
If you are a left-handed crocheter follow the chart from left to right
What next is the Crochet Snood, and of course is now season 2 announced!
Here's hoping some more wonderful creations by fibre artists are used!
