“Oh, Tish, what more could we ask?”
- Gomez Addams

Cue the three-legged romper, the kiss, and a swelling orchestral score from the 1991 Addams Family movie. Morticia’s Surprise is fun knit whether you’re announcing your own bundle of joy or want the perfect accent for a Morticia Addams cosplay.

This piece starts at the toes and works it’s way up through the legs, body, and then the shoulders which are grafted together. Then you’ll pick up stitches at the arm holes, work a short row sleeve cap, and knit the sleeves down to the cuffs.

There are three different neck option to choose from: stockinette edge, stockinette edge with a collar, or 1x1 rib. Also included are instructions for adding needles and yarn to match what’s shown in the film.

18.25” (46.3 cm) long and 9” (22.8 cm) wide across the chest. Collar adds 1.5” (3.8 cm) to the length.
