Kavi's Baby Surprise Jacket
Remember this? Well it's finished!!
I blocked it and sewed on the buttons last night instead of going to the circus. We had plans to go to Ringling Bros at Madison Square Garden, but I made migas and black beans instead. Then I finished this :) So happy. This is the Elizabeth Zimmerman Baby Surprise Jacket pattern, and it really is a big surprise. The whole time that I was knitting this I had no idea how it would ever turn into a jacket. I was confounded.
It is just blind trust with this one.
It was 100% worth it and I hope to make very many of these. The only seam in this sweater is along the top of the sweater sleeves along the back. In the future, I will sew both seams from the neck-hole out, as I found that otherwise, it causes the sleeves to encroach on the neck space.
Perhaps now it is finally time for my first man sweater...

That's a beautiful jacket. I'm still working on my jacket as well... We shall see how it turns out.
ReplyDeleteI still have to stitch together the hippo as well. Gosh so much to do, so little time.
