Baby Surprise Jacket II : Pastels


Eid is just round the corner and I decided to knit some baby stuff as an Eid gift for BIL's baby boy. Baby Surprise Jacket (ravelry link) seemed to be the most ideal choice. I had knit one last year so it went faster and smoother this time. I decided to use all subdued tones. I used DK baby soft Bambino (a local acrylic brand) leftovers and 4mm needles.

The modifications I did were to turn the jacket inside out, so that instead of distinct stripes , I got blended colors. Secondly, I added a I-cord edging ( I just love the I-cord edging) to the jacket. All in all it turned out really well and it is better sized than my first BSJ.
I am a little rushed for time here, but if possible, I will try to knit white trousers to go with it, inshaAllah!

    I love that pattern, and I think an i-cord edging is just ideal.

    I came accross your blog through Ravelry and spent some time reading the archives. You are such a talented knitter! As a mother of three myself, I wonder how you managed to complete so many beautiful projects with young children.

    @Shannon...Thank you for you kind words. My projects do often get in the way of housework or vice versa, :)
