Baby Surprise Jacket: Finished!

The surprise being that this odd blob...


turns into a sweater if you fold it the right way.

Very clever.
I made a point of changing colours at all the points where the pattern changed -- where you decrease for the sleeve cuff, where you change from decreases to increases on the body, where you work the the increase for the back, where you decrease for the neck, and for the buttonband.

I love how the colours break on the front. And it's a rather amusing puzzle to hand it to a knitter and watch them try to fold it the right way.

I think I've spent more time folding it than actually knitting it...

Thanks for posting the folding! Lots of people post FO pics of this one but I've never seen a folding!
