Since Mary and several others posted photos of beautiful crocheted sweaters based on the original Elizabeth Zimmerman pattern for a knitted version there have been a few knitters who have shown interest in making one but the pattern had long been discontinued. Now King Cole have issued a new version, based on the original BSJ. http://www.dragonyarns.co.uk/king-cole-3369-dk-4ply-magic-dolman-cardigan-surprise-baby-jacket It would probably need to be made bigger for KAS purposes but the pattern fascinates me.

That's a very interesting find, Christine.
Looking a bit further, it appears they also do a Aran and Chunky version pattern in larger sizes, which may be more suitable for KAS needs.
King Cole Pattern 3449, widely available, just Google.
