EZ Baby Surprise Jacket

This is the most fun little sweater to knit.. EVER. This is the baby surprise jacket by Elizabeth Zimmerman. It is such a fascinating project. You cast on. You start to knit and it looks like a big blob of nothing except garter stitch rows. I kept thinking to myself, what was this lady thinking and how in the world is this going to become ANYTHING, ever? But, I was told to keep faith and just keep knitting… so I did.

a sweater, really? See? Really now.

But when all is said and done, you fold it up nice and neat. Sew the seams of the arms along the shoulders down to the cuffs of the sleeve. PRESTO.. a sweater. Isn’t just adorable?

This was knit for my friends bebe, who is actually the sister in law of my sister in law, who is also expecting her first little bundle in late December. The baby boy welcomed into the world on August 20. I hope he enjoys this sweater as much as enjoyed knitting it up for him.
