This famous pattern, Elizabeth Zimmerman's Baby Surprise Jacket, was first published in 1968 and is still going strong. I can see why; you knit the whole thing in one piece and end up with a blob (see top photo) that magically, with one fold and two seams, becomes the neatest little jacket you ever saw. I used leftover sock yarn; because the pattern is knit in one piece the yarn changes turn into symmetrical stripes no matter where you put them. Neat-O. E Zimmerman comments: "the baby may well be unmoved by your offering, but your friends will be amazed."More baby knits may be in the imminent future.
Ahem.
