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!
