Wednesday Addams Crochet Sweater Vest (Black and White Check Crocheted VEST )

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. 

The Graphs I used to crochet Wednesdays V neck are at the bottom of this page. 

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.

My squares had to be 6.5cm x 6.5cm.

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. 

I used 4 x BLACK yarn and 3 x WHITE YARN  I’ve decided how I’m making the sweater . Will be worked all in one alternating colour change as per the chart below. Only carrying the yarn on the ONE Row of a white coloured block when it shifts one Whole Block.

•  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

Floating the yarn did NOT work!!!

I gave myself a major headache, but after posting a video on Tiktok of Wednesday’s Crochet Checked vest top and how I was not liking how much of a nightmare it was.

I initially went with Carrying the YARN across the checks, as I did not like how the piece looked.

Then I tried ‘Floating’ the yarn across. Nightmare! But it will be ok if your using a 2 ply yarn held together. 

Between a few of my followers, they helped me come up with THE BEST and fastest way to crochet the checkered Vest Wednesday wore in series 6. 

• 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!
