Most people learn to knit by making a simple scarf. The Complete Surprise uses this approach, with a twist: New knitters start with a Surprise Scarf, knit with a unique shape and incorporating all the basic knitting techniques needed to make Elizabeth Zimmermann's iconic Baby Surprise Jacket. 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 colors 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 EZ Surprise Bootees and Surprise Bonnet. Plus, with the author's revolutionary analysis of Elizabeth Zimmermann's design and new approach to sizing, the book 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 colorful Circular Stranded Surprise Jacket is covered in detail.

Easy to follow instructions, extremely detailed explanation of how it works, and why it works. Makes it endlessly customizable! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wonderful book *by V***A on December 3, 2024* I ordered and paid for one copy, but 4 copies were delivered. I contacted Amazon Customer Service and they told me to keep the 3 extra copies. That's not right (or at least not ethical) because these books aren't inexpensive. If the merchant reads these reviews, please reply to this review with instructions on how I can return them to you.
