There are six miles of gravel and blacktop road to the nearest four way stop sign from our farm. That’s Lost City, and from that intersection Killabrew Road winds east along the Fourteen Mile Creek bottom.

The Killabrew Vest uses Jamieson & Smith jumper weight yarn. It is worked in the round from the hem up and has steeks for the armholes and v-neck. It’s handsome, straightforward, and suitable for any gender.

There are fifteen sizes to choose from, and I have created a table specifying how much yarn is needed for each.
The pattern has two versions of the only chart, which I did to make reading the chart more straightforward for someone who prefers to flip the dark and light values of the ribbing, main color, and background. It looks good both ways.

To show a few options we’ve included in the photos a vest done in two colors, however, as seen in the other photo I’ve included the possibility of a small accent color. This is a good way to add a bit of pop or accent and liven things up a bit if one wishes.

The shades used in the vest worn by Brian (the handsome bearded man) are FC58 and 36.

J&S jumper weight wool can be purchased from Lost City Knits!
