The Baby Surprise Jacket is a wonderful introduction to the creative knitting mind of Elizabeth Zimmermann. Students will use a variety of techniques including increases, double decreases, picking up stitches, and making buttonholes while making a strange semi-flat shape which will be magically transformed in to a small sweater after sewing only two sleeve seams. 

*Students need to bring a completed garter stitch gauge swatch (with their chosen yarn and needles) to the first class.* If you have questions about suitable yarn, please email Melissa before the class at LivingstonKnitter@gmail.com.
