Baby Surprise Jacket Workshop Ref: GK/BSJ/TH/1203

Friday 12th March - with Tricia Holman

10.30 - 4.30 (includes an hour's lunch)

This by now almost legendary jacket was invented by Elizabeth Zimmermann as a baby jacket, but can be adapted for any size. A shape is created in one piece which only when finished and cunningly folded looks anything like a jacket!

At the workshop you will be knitting a version that is even smaller than the baby version, but with thicker wool and larger needles, to make the most of limited time. The finished jacket will be suitable for a teddy or doll, but the principles are the same, whatever the size. You will learn how to adapt the design for different sizes - up to adult size.

Tricia has been knitting these small jackets in Shetland 2-ply, but any aran weight yarn with 5mm (or thereabouts) needles will do. Different colour stripes are quite effective, so this could be good for using up several half balls of wool.

There will be yarn available to buy on the day from the shop or Tricia herself.

Cost of workshop £45
