haha! No way, that's so cool that you are so close! Let me know if you have any questions. It's such a fun project - hope you enjoy it and best of luck!
Hi Karen, have you tried watching my video on how to lengthen the sleeves? It's here: ua-cam.com/video/yrsFzLx_f5o/v-deo.html. Also, if you prefer written instructions, the Ravelry Wiki page on the Baby Surprise Jacket has great instructions on how to lengthen the sleeves in different ways: www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/baby-surprise-jacket/wiki#h3-30. Hope that helps!
I bought the books and the pattern and *still* can't figure it out. Now I have a child to make it for and still can't get started. He is now 3 years old and by the time I finish he will be 5. So, I would love to know how many stitches to CO ... the pattern shows 160 but for what size??
The baby surprise jacket is a one size pattern. I made mine toddler sized (about 2 years old) by using a larger yarn and larger needle. I used an Aran weight yarn and US 7 needle. I found these instructions which modify the original pattern for a three year old: www.ravelry.com/projects/WheresMyMarbles/baby-surprise-jacket. Alternatively, you could look at getting the child version of the pattern: www.schoolhousepress.com/abcsj-adult-baby-and-child-s-surprise-jacket-new.html. I haven't knit that pattern before though.
@@katknits I bought the School House Press abcsj ... and still am befuddled at all of it. A mental block just like I used to have a math mental block. Drats. I don't have time to wait much longer. I'm 84 yo. I am looking at what you posted to my message - thank you VERY much! I will keep working toward making this incredible sweater. I might just do a baby to see how it goes. Then, if there is time, I'll try for the toddler 4 yo. Again, thank you!!! Great video.
Bonjour ! J'admire votre tuto gilet enfant, j'ai 3 petits enfants et je ne comprends rien à l'anglais malheureusement. Alors je voulais savoir si si vous connaissez un lien en français pour ce modèle d'Élisabeth Zimmerman. Avec tous mes remerciements. Une mamie Françoise 😊
Hi! School House Press does sell the pattern in French. You need to email them to request the digital pattern in French. Their email is info@schoolhousepress.com. Happy Knitting!
Just getting ready to start this project. Thanks for the help. Get back on that ferry and come over to Vancouver and help me, lol.
