    I wouldn't risk it. It says 113g to a skein and definitely using 3 skeins, maybe needing a 4th. So that's 339g+ in this "bulky". Assuming this "bulky" knits like chunky (which may not be the case), you are a good 100g short.

    That's a great pattern - definitely one I've bookmarked for future use. Thanks for posting it!
