Rainbow Surprise Jacket
Started: 5th March 2011
Finished: 8th May 2011
Pattern
Surprise Jacket for Baby by Jenny King (Ravelry link)
Materials
King Cole Merino Blend DK - various colours.
5.5 mm hook
Notes
Pattern is based on Elizabeth Zimmerman’s knitted Baby Surprise Jacket that I enjoyed knitting.
Making smallest size.
UK stitch names for a change - almost caught me out!
End result not bad but probably needs blocking to straighten it out a bit. Knitted version is a bit more “delicate”!
Gave jacket to Cathy and Tom from no. 21 for Alice - born March 2011. Very warm spring so I hope she got a chance to wear it before she grew out of it! Yes, apparently she did, and carried on wearing it as a dressing gown in the evenings for a while!
