Pattern Correction

• If your stitch count on the skirt does not match, adjust by adding/removing an increase in the first skirt round.
• For ears, if the shape is not as desired, add a second “row” of 6 sc for larger ears.
• The collar can be made longer by increasing ex-chains for a looser fit.

Tips

• Use a stitch marker; black yarn is hard to see!
• Add all embroidered or glued details (dots, scars, etc.) after final assembly and before final photographs.
• Shape braids neatly and affix ends for the neatest appearance.
• For display, you may pin “Thing” on the head or shoulder, whichever you prefer.

With its unique features—braided hair, iconic collar, and even “Thing”—your Wednesday Addams amigurumi will have character and charm. Add your own touches with stripes, polka dots, or “scars” and enjoy bringing this spooky-sweet doll to life.
