Another BSJ

That's a Baby Surprise Jacket. I first knitted one of these seven years ago  The Elizabeth Zimmerman pattern enables you to knit a cardigan all in one piece, and then it folds together, and just two sleeve seams later you have a jacket.

My Postcard Project Partner Kirsten mentioned that she was just knitting one - which was so bizarre, because I had just found my pattern in the loft and sorted some wool from the Stash to knit one myself. Kirsten's is beautiful - look here, and I was so pleased to be able to send her some buttons for it [The Button Collection is just too big, and I need to prune it down]

I did mine in some Sirdar Snuggly [originally from SIL Denise,] with a few bands of a pastel random yarn to liven up the grey. And here's one I did back in 2015 when Liz was pregnant

And this is the lovely one Kirsten has made. I think my 2022 version is distinctly lacking in stripes!

 Maybe I should sort out a whole bagful of yarns and make another. The great advantage of this pattern is that you do not need to worry about matching the stripes - they automatically line up because of the clever way in which the pattern is written.

It is truly a Surprise Jacket
