DIY Kit - Young at Heart Vest
This vest is knit in one piece from the bottom up. The bottom of the body is worked in the round to the armhole. It is then split to separately work the front and back sections flat. Stitches are picked up to work the neckline in the round.
Dream is our new name for Merino Worsted yarn. Though the name is different and we have a new palette of color offerings, nothing else about Dream has changed: it is the same yarn you know and love!

- Size US 10 (6 mm) circular needles 32'' (80 cm) in length - OPTIONAL

Note: If knitting the neckline with 32” circular needles, you will need to use the Magic Loop Method. To avoid the Magic Loop, use 16” circular needles.
NOTE: A tapestry needle may be helpful when seaming and securing all loose ends.
Fiber Content Note: Dream TWEED colors Flamingo, Blue Lagoon, Blacksmith and Stardust have different fiber content: 82% merino, 13% wool, 5% viscose.
Care: Dry clean or hand wash cold, lay flat to dry. Please test any washing/drying method on a small swatch to ensure you like the end result. Note that exposing wool to heat (hot water) or agitation (machine washing) will cause it to felt.
Yarn made in Italy, kit assembled in the USA.
Shown in Spicy Hot Pink (S/M), Camel (S/M), Rococo Blue (M/L), and Tweed-Blacksmith (M/L).
