Baby Surprise Jacket and pattern
Knitted in simple garter stitch in one piece, shaped with increases and decreases, the jacket appears once you have bound off and folded it, with only two short seams needed. Knit it in a solid color, a heather or variegated, or use up leftovers in a striped pattern.

This pattern is so versatile that entire Ravelry groups exist just to knit it in all possible variations! Stop by the shop and see how many of our yarns would look great in this sweater. Surprise yourself!
