Knitting Elizabeth Zimmermann's Surprise Jacket

Cully Swansen

Description

The Complete Surprise is filled to the brim with exciting projects for the absolute beginner to experienced knitter!

New knitters start with Cully Swansen's Surprise Scarf, knit with a unique shape and incorporating all the basic knitting techniques. Move from the Scarf to the Baby Surprise Jacket and knit one of the most popular knitting designs ever, with a wealth of optional variations. Add colours when and where you like, to create a one-of-a-kind look. Next try the brand-new variations: Surprise Dress, Surprise Bolero and Surprise Snuggle Suit, along with the classic Elizabeth Zimmermann Surprise Bootees and Surprise Bonnet.

Cully Swansen's revolutionary analysis of Elizabeth Zimmermann's design and new approach to sizing enables you to knit a jacket of any size (adult, baby or child) that is custom fit (in body circumference, body length, sleeve depth and sleeve length) using the wool, needles and gauge of your choice. Advanced knitters can incorporate new options from a curved neck to waist shaping, and the colourful Circular Stranded Surprise Jacket is covered in detail.
