Toddler Surprise Jacket?

So I've procrastinated way too long on knitting the Baby Surprise Jacket for my son, and now he's too big! I've been puzzling over how to size it up to about a size two, but since I've never knit one before I'm not quite sure what to do.

I thought about just using a bulkier yarn, but the yarn I really want to use is worsted weight. Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks!

  • use bigger needles and bigger yarn. apparently if you use bulky yarn and size 8-10 needles (call it ballband gauge) you get a women's medium, so maybe heavy-sport/dk weight and 5s? or whatever it takes to get ballband gauge? 1
