Elizabeth Zimmermann’s Baby Surprise Jacket has become near legendary since its conception in 1968. The jacket is knitted back and forth in Garter stitch, then cleverly folded and completed by weaving the shoulder seams. This updated pattern includes Elizabeth’s original Baby Surprise Jacket instructions, original Adult Surprise Jacket instructions (with additional sizing help), and instructions for a Child’s Surprise Jacket. Row-by-row instructions for the Baby Surprise Jacket are included. Numbers to knit the original size jacket with different gauges have been included. The pattern also includes notes on color placement, options for hood, collar and more, plus instructions for EZ’s Afterthought Pocket, one-row buttonhole, and more.
