The Return of the Baby Surprise Jacket
December 30th, 2009
The Baby Surprise Jacket by Elizabeth Zimmerman has stood the test of time since it was designed in 1968. It has been knit by knitters over the decades and everyone has marveled over the construction of this one-piece sweater. There are two seams at the shoulders and nothing else besides that. When I first knitted this sweater, I took a class with Ada and to this day I am thankful because knitting this sweater means that you are in love with Elizabeth Zimmerman forever. I don’t know if I would spent the time to decode the pattern on my own.

Ada is teaching another class for this sweater starting at the end of January 2010 on Tuesday evenings and if you are making resolutions about knitting, this is one to go with. You will finish the entire project as part of this class. You will knit a blob that looks like this:

And it will magically become this:

If there is one class you should take, it is this class. See all the details on our class schedule page. And you can call the store to sign up for this class at 650-685-6205.

Hi Sudha and Saloni!
I’m currently in Manila but will be back in SF by next week. As soon as I get my act together, I would like to learn this Baby Surprise Jacket. We are expecting two new babies this Spring (a grandnephew and a grandniece)!
I love that you decided to have a Facebook account.
Hope to see you soon!
Best regards!
BG Quesada
