This is a fascinating pattern to knit! Incidentally, the colours in this photo are more realistic than the earlier ones.It's all based on the number of stitches, and amazingly, mine has been correct all the way through.
When I've finished knitting the lower middle portion, I'll pick up some stitches that are currently on the holders which will form the front bands.
The top seam along the shoulders is the only sewing that is required - it is knit all in one piece.

What a fascinating project. Whilst I've heard of Elizabeth Zimmerman I've never actually seen any of her patterns. I'm going to have to look for her work. I hope the library has some.
Okay, that's just the best title for a blog post ever. :-)
Hi Shirley, I love your baby surprise jacket. I just wanted to say that I went through the whole mammogram experience back in May. It's pretty worrying when they call you back for another look. I guess hospitals are the same everywhere--they don't tell you anything here either! I had the second mammogram (ouch) and a very thorough ultrasound. At the end, all was well. What a relief.
The baby surprise jacket is simply delicious! I have more knitting projects than I could shake a stick at now...I know! What's my point?
I may just have to break down and knit this little bugger. How long did it take to knit?
Great job! I love the colors.
So glad you are okay and it was good news! Interesting colours in the wool.Cheers, Ali.
The jacket is just darling! I'm glad your second mammogram was OK - the same thing happened to me in January.
This is a pretty jacket.
I love the surprise jacket. I want to knit one for my friend's first grandson. Of course your color choice is great.
Congratulations on your good results! The Baby Surprise jacket is beautiful! What a wonderful use for a painted yarn.
Shirley, Have you seen this version of the surprise jacket?
