Mods can be found at Panda Man's Knitting Corner
It helps to have knit a Baby Surprise Jacket before and I've knit dozens so I found this easy.
The only thing I did not like were MY increases and decreases. I think I was doing it wrong or else they just do not look as good in the stockinette. If you look at Panda Man's BSJ, you will see a much neater line.
I plan to knit up another and try again to see if I can improve the increase/decrease lines.
You have to have the original Baby Surprise Jacket pattern by Elizabeth Zimmermann to make this stockinette pattern. Go see his page for more details!
Here's a picture at the halfway point.
Sapatinho experimenting still going on and I just have to seam those little guys up.
Will post the results next, but I am leaning toward the 2nd pair I made with the garter stitch bottom. Easy to seam!

When I first came across your blog, you were making lots of BSJs. I was so inspired by them, that I bought an EZ book just for the pattern. I still haven't made one yet...maybe this fall or winter. I like this stockinette version.
BSJ is adorable. I need to learn to make one! The colors are perfect and unique ; WOnderful post.
Beautiful. I love that pattern...I wouldn't mind making one for myself....maybe someday?....
I'm trying to get in touch with you to answer a question you ask about a baby sweater pattern. Your comment didn't give me an email address.
