....but some nifty folding results in this....
Two straight seams across the top of the sleeves and five buttons later you have a finished baby jacket - I would say it's probably a 0 - 3 month size.

Baby Surprise Jacket
Finished! A baby surprise jacket from Elizabeth Zimmermann's Knitting Workshop book. The first part of this went very slowly, as it wasn't the only project on the go, and I was knitting on 3.75 mm needles, but once I gave it the attention it deserved it finished up fast. It's made in Bernat Softee Baby and I used less than one ball. It looks very odd when you cast off....

O.K - I can see the neckline and the buttonholes in the first pic but I still can't quite grasp how you are folding it. Must go have another look at the picture. Turned out really well. YOu must have done a lot of knitting this weekend.
Had some very relaxing knitting time in the sun over the weekend - it was so warm I even had my swimsuit on!
You really have to do the folding thing yourself to understand it, but I've sewn it up now - I'll show you the finished article when I see you.
Oh, I LOVE it!
Very clever and oh, so adorable. I'm thinking that Elizabeth Zimmerman's approach to knitting makes so much sense. Might have to give it a try.
