Pattern: Modular Tomten Jacket from Elizabeth Zimmermann: Knitting Without Tears (also in Knitting Workshop)

Size: 50 cl (newborn)

Yarn: Hjerte Sock 4, color 2699 (variegated purple)

Yardage: 70 g = 300 m

Needles: 3 mm

Gauge: 28 sts 56 rows in Stocking stitch = 10 cm(4")

The best baby pattern I have ever knitted and one of very few patterns that I have knitted more than once.

Originally planned as a "delivery knit", but of course I never managed to knit a single stitch in the hospital. (Yeah, I know, but all the books said that with the first child there would be a looong wait during the delivery, so we brought books, music, knitting and food. Then everything happened so fast that we never even had time to park the car.)
