Surprise!

More avoidance of incomplete projects....

But here's the famous "Baby Surprise" Jacket by the indescribably fantastic Elizabeth Zimmermann.


I made this in three tonal pink colors of Tahki Cotton Classic. I wimped out and made the hat in stockinette stitch because I was too lazy to do it in garter stitch in the round or to knit it flat and then seam it. As a consolation, I made some adorable flowers. They're made by k2tog, over and over again.

I'm quite pleased with the overall look, but I went batty sewing in ends. Hopefully, the little gal will enjoy it. I want to make a wooly version for a baby boy due in September. It should be adorable!
