From Pattern Notes:
“ This pattern is based on EZ’s concepts, especially that babies come in many sizes, and that they are basically square units. So this is in garter stitch, and I give no gauge--use what
you have on hand, on appropriate needles. I use 40 stitches as my example, but the coat is so easy, you can change this if you have an exact size in mind. Since you will have up to 81
stitches, most will find a circular needle most helpful.

It is knit all in one piece. I have made 2, one with every two rows (one ridge) different, and one where I alternated two yarns, one ridge in a solid, one ridge in a variegated. Have some fun!

When I finished the first one, somebody said it looked like the famous Surprise jacket. That is when I realized that it is the same shape, only knit from a different direction, and it was the first time I really understood why the Surprise jacket shape worked.“
