Chill-Chaser Vest
Knitting Pattern: Cozy Winter Vest
**About the Design:** This quick and stylish vest is designed for knitters who crave instant gratification! Perfect for a cool winter, this vest can be knitted and worn in the same season, or even the same week! Crafted using the luxurious **Kraemer Yarns Bear Creek**, this thick vest not only keeps you warm but also adds a chic touch to any outfit, making it a staple in your winter wardrobe.
**Yarn Details:** The vest is made from **Kraemer Yarns Bear Creek,** which features a cozy blend of 99% wool and 1% nylon. Each hank contains approximately 130 yards and weighs 200 grams. You will need 2 / 3 / 3 hanks in color #Y1814 Kiwi Ice or choose your favorite shade from the collection to make this masterpiece uniquely yours.
Important Note: For size S, the sample used only 13 grams from the 2 hanks. If you tend to use more yarn than typical patterns suggest, we highly recommend purchasing an extra hank to ensure you have enough yarn for your project.
Gauge Information: Achieve the perfect fit with a gauge of 11 stitches and 15 rows per 4 inches (10 cm) when knitted in Stockinette stitch using size 11 needles or another size that matches the gauge. To avoid any surprises, always take the time to check your gauge before starting your project.
Yarn Substitutes: The recommended yarn weight for this pattern is super bulky. The Bear Creek yarn is a unique roving type with a lightweight nylon binder, making it ideal for quick knits. If you’re looking for alternatives, Universal Yarn Superwool is a comparable option based on yardage. Don't hesitate to explore other super bulky yarns, as they can provide different surface textures and unique finishes to your vest.
**Happy Knitting!** Embrace the joy of creating while staying warm and stylish this winter with your very own hand-knit vest. Whether as a cozy addition to your own wardrobe or a thoughtful handmade gift, this pattern promises to be a delightful project for knitters of all levels. Enjoy every stitch!
Warmly,
Dawn
