Baby Surprise Jacket

 

 

The Facts:

Pattern: Baby Surprise Jacket from The Opinionated Knitter by Elizabeth Zimmermann

Yarn: My own worsted weight (12 wpi) handspun Merino wool, about 5.5 oz., 350 yards

Gauge: 5 sts. per inch

Size: 17.5" around, 17.5" cuff to cuff, so, taking into consideration the thickness of the fabric, to fit about a 6 month old baby according to standard sizing

Needles: size 5 Addi Turbo, 40" long

Buttons: cuties made from coconut (many thanks to the woman at Windsor Button who helped me yesterday)

Started: April 19, 2007

Finished: April 28, 2007, including most of the spinning (The dark brown was a leftover.)
