Wednesday’s Sweater

Inspired by the iconic style of Wednesday Addams, this simple yet striking sweater combines classic gothic charm with a modern silhouette. The standout feature is a bold diamond illusion panel running up the front, created using just knit and purl stitches for maximum impact with minimal fuss.

Designed with a cropped length, drop shoulders, and short sleeves, Wednesday’s Sweater brings a contemporary edge to a timeless mood. Perfect for layering or wearing alone, it’s as versatile as it is stylish.

Sized to fit busts from 81 to 137 cm (32”–54”), this pattern is inclusive and adaptable.

The sample is knit in Scheepjes Merino Soft DK, giving the fabric a luxurious drape and soft feel to contrast the sweater’s sharp aesthetic.
