Elizabeth Zimmermann's A-B-C Surprise Jacket

Elizabeth Zimmermann's Baby Surprise Jacket has truly proven to be timeless, only growing in popularity since its conception in 1968. The jacket is knitted back and forth in garter stitch, then cleverly folded and completed by weaving the shoulder seams.

This updated booklet includes Elizabeth's original Baby Surprise Jacket pattern, and now, thanks to her gandson Cully, there are new instructions for custom-sizing the jacket for anyone: baby, child, or adult.

You may knit from row-by-row directions for Elizabeth's original Baby Surprise Jacket numbers, or follow step-by-step instructions to size your own with the dimensions, yarn, and gauge of your choice. Notes are included on color placement, options for hood, collar, and more. This is a "surprisingly" fun and satisfying knit for all ages!

This booklet comes in a 3-hole, archival quality sheet protector.
