The Story of Trigun Vash the Stampede Ugly Christmas Sweater
Vash the Stampede is one of the most iconic characters in all of anime. He’s a gunslinger with a heart of gold, and he always manages to bring happiness to those around him.
But Vash isn’t just any old character – he’s also known as “The Ugly Christmas Sweater Guy.” It all started way back in 2002, when Hidetaka Miyazaki and his team at Spike Chunsoft put together a special edition of Trigun for Christmas. The sweater was hideous, to say the least – it featured an enormous cartoon rat on the front, with Vash’s name embroidered above it.
But despite its appearance, everyone who got their hands on this sweater loved it. And that’s because it embodied everything that makes Vash so special: his sense of humor and his genuine love for others.
Since then, fans have been eagerly waiting for another Ugly Christmas Sweater release from Trigun creator Hidetaka Miyazaki and his team at Spike Chunsoft. And they may not have to wait too long – according to reports, Miyazaki is currently working on a new Ugly Christmas Sweater story for Trigun that will be released sometime in 2019…
Materials Required
In order to make this Vash the Stampede ugly Christmas sweater, you will need:
-1 skein of bulky yarn in brown
-1 skein of bulky yarn in green
-1 skein of light green
-1 skein of white
-1 ball each of black and red yarn
-4.5 mm crochet hook (or size needed to obtain gauge)
-Tapestry needle
-Scissors
The pattern is available for free on my website (click here). The finished measurements are chest measurement 34”, length from shoulder to bottom hem 18”, and width across the shoulders 21”. This sweater is meant to fit very snugly so please be aware of that when choosing your size. If you are between sizes, I recommend going with the smaller size as it will be less likely to slip off your body during wear.
Materials Required:
• 1 skein of bulky yarn in brown • 1 skein of bulky yarn in green • 1 skein of light green • 1 skein of white • 1 ball each of black and red yarn • 4.5 mm crochet hook (or size needed to obtain gauge) • Tapestry needle • Scissors
Making the Sweater
Creating an ugly Christmas sweater is simple with the help of some supplies and a few tips. First, start by choosing a fabric that you love but that is not too festive. A good option is a flannel or cotton blend because they will be warm but also comfortable to wear. Next, gather some supplies needed for the project: crafting needles, thread, scissors, seam ripper, and a hot glue gun.
Cut the fabric into the desired shape and then measure out the required size of stitches. For this sweater, I used 1 inch stitches because it matched Vash’s cannon arms perfectly. Once you have determined your pattern and stitch size, begin sewing by following the diagram provided on the package of crafting needles or using a tutorial found online. You will need to use multiple layers of fabric for this project because your stitches will show through. Be sure to backstitch at both ends of each row to ensure a strong seam.
Once your seams are complete, it’s time to start adding decorations! I chose to add skull and crossbones symbols along with flames because they represent Vash’s fiery personality. To create these symbols, first draw them freehand on some scrap paper before transferring them to your fabric using a sharpie or pencil. Then use your hot glue gun to attach them to your sweater as desired. Be sure to wait until the glue has cooled completely before wearing your creation!
