Baby Surprise Sweater Notes
notes by Dawn Adcock, for extremely
wonderful original pattern by Elizabeth Zimmermann
Worsted/size 6 (US) needles=5
½ sts per inch
23” wide sweater
Worsted/size 8 (US) needles=4
sts per inch
25” wide sweater
Used about two skeins of Canadiana
for one toddler sized worsted weight sweater,
100g (3.5 oz)/228 yards each skein
How to read these notes:
Two sides are always same amount of sts, only one
side of numbers is noted, with center sts next.
The dividing stitch between sections isn’t noted, so there are
2 more sts to add to the row total on most rows.
(In other words: numbers show the amount of sts on one
side, then you have the dividing st, then the center section sts noted next,
then for the other side after the next dividing st you will also have the same
amount that is listed for the first side)
