Zimmerman's Surprise Jacket















Craft: Making the Elizabeth Zimmerman baby surprise jacket

Inspiration: I saw this jacket on a knitting website and just had to try it. You knit one large rectangle and using an origami style folding, it turns into a jacket! The proportions are just right for a baby, but I used a larger gauge yarn to make it fit my toddler.


To make yours like mine:
Zimmerman's pattern for the baby surprise jacket
3 skeins of Blue Sky Alpaca yarn in colors: drift, stone, and pumpkin
US size 8 needles
