It’s not every day there’s a new baby to knit for!
Baby Surprise Snowsuit (ravelry) by Elizabeth Zimmermann and, ahem, me.
I did some second-generation improving on this version (here on ravelry) – making it joinless, and a sharper decrease at the leg cuffs. I edited the original BSJ Snow Suit post to include my options for “improvements”, and the reasoning behind them.
I don’t really know what else to say about this thing. Everyone’s seen BSJs before!
I do have a question for everyone though… Do you like to knit your own designs?









This is wonderful! Love the colorway!
I love it, what a great idea!
It is so beautiful! What a priceless gift!
Ooooh ! This is just gorgeous.
What a beautiful baby present. You are so fast!
If I designed (more than adapting patterns or generic designs), I might be able to tell you.
Love the embroidery!
I’m looking forward to weather cool enough that Lina can model the original.
Great sweater, I’m a little jealous of your baby. I love to design too. I’m making holiday sweaters for children. They are great fun to knit. My 14 yr. old baby is too big to wear the sweaters anymore.
Ingenious! I love the improvisations to the BSJ. Elizabeth would give you a big high five. The BSJ is one of my all time favorite designs and you have just taken it to a different level. What will you think of next? Can’t wait to see.
