Chill-Chaser Vest

About the Design: I wanted a quick vest that could be knit and worn in the same winter, if not the same week! This design is knit in **Kraemer Yarns Bear Creek **yarn, for a thick vest to chase the chills away!

**Yarn: Kraemer Yarns Bear Creek, **99% wool / 1% nylon, approx. 130 yd / 200 gram hank: 2 / 3 / 3 hanks #Y1814 Kiwi Ice or color of your choice.

Note: The size S sample had just 13 g rem from the 2 hanks. If you typically use more yarn than patterns state, do get an extra hank, to be on the safe side.

Gauge: 11 sts and 15 rows = 4” (10 cm) in St st with size 11 ndls or size to give gauge. To save time, take time to check gauge.

Substitute Yarn Weight: super bulky (The Bear Creek yarn is a roving type, with a nylon binder – lightweight for the grist. The closest yarn, by yards per ounce, on Loveknitting seems to be Universal Yarn Superwool. Certainly, other super bulky yarns could be substituted, providing different surface textures.)

Happy Knitting! Dawn
