Wednesday Checkered Vest


"Hi to all my fellow knitters! It seems like a lot of young people are really captivated by the bold style and signature monochromatic wardrobe of this character in the new adaptation, so I decided to give it a try and knit a vest inspired by one I’ve seen her wear. I liked the checkered vest in black and white, the one with the large square. It has a simple design, it’s oversized-which is very trendy nowadays, and I thought it would look great on my daughters if any of them would like to wear it. So, I grabbed some medium worsted yarn and got to work. I made the squares approximately the same as what I’ve seen in the pictures of the original design, and I’m quite satisfied with how the final look turned out. It looks oversized on my youngest (as seen in the pictures, she’s a size XS/S), and fitted on my eldest (size M), who kept wearing it when she came over for the holidays. Thanks to the original creator/designer of this outfit and for the show for bringing such simple garments back in fashion."
