BSJ - Got Worms?

Pattern: Baby Surprise Jacket
Yarn: Plymouth Encore (2 skeins)
Needles: Denise Size 7


This is my 2nd BSJ. It is an addictive pattern. I joined the Ravelry KAL and instead of doing the number of rows for the first of five weeks. I just kept going. I've started another one that I'll show you tomorrow.
Don't you just love these fish buttons! When I sew on the buttons I also sew a clear button on the back to reinforce that section of knitting from the possible pull on that area.

I finished the edge with an I-cord. Though time-consuming a finish, it adds a special touch.
I added my label to the bottom edge. I usually sew it on the neck edge but I didn't want it to feel scratchy to a newborn's skin.

Happy Knitting!!!!

  4. More than adorable...way more. Fish buttons...you've really out down yourself this time. Ok...so where do I find this pattern, and is it one I can do? I see it's garter stitch which is exciting to be.

  5. This is too cute for words! Love the buttons! I like the idea of putting the label on the bottom of the sweater, too. I don't like anything scratchy on my neck either.
