This is a pattern I wrote that adapted EZ’s baby surprise jacket to fit a 3 to 5 lb preemie, roughly 11” finished chest, using sports weight wool at 6 sts to the inch. Using worsted weight, it is a newborn sized sweater. The sweater starts from sleeve extensions, since I like longer sleeves; after that, everything sails along like the BSJ.
