I followed the pattern from Elizabeth Zimmermann’s – The Opinionated Knitter. I found the pattern was a little difficult to follow and I therefore had good help from Dawn Adcock’s notes.

When my dear mother in law saw my project – she gave me these lovely buttons. The yarn I used was Superwash Wool. The green wool: Lorna’s laces, color: 3507.

All that is needed now is a child to test the jacket on as I had no child to measure on while knitting… Does this make me an exploring knitter – just focusing on the pattern and not the use of the final product? Or just a knitter who also wants to be able to write Baby Surprise Jacket on her knitting CV…

This pattern is fun and truely surprising…
