Another Baby Surprise!
Here is my most recent Zimmermann project.
This one is made with some lovely Berocco alpaca. It is so soft. I love this pattern.
It's the best pattern ever, isn't it? I'm sure I've knit it more often than any other single pattern in my life. I even did the adult version a year ago. And it's great fun, every time.
I have just purchased the book, have wanted to make this jacket for ages. I have noticed however that, on the surprise jacket pattern when you are to shape the neck it says 'at 152 sts shape neck by casting off 5 sts at beginnings of next two rows, when there are 158 sts work on centre 90 only'Surely if you have 152 sts and cast off 10 sts you would then have 142 not 158sts?
Lovely!
