Some great alternatives include: * BC Garn Allino (50% cotton, 50% linen) * Katia Lino (100% linen) * Rico Creative Cotton DK (100% cotton) Hook For my cardigan, I used a 4mm (G-6) crochet hook. Please know that you absolutely do not have to use the same hook size as I did! You can choose whichever hook enables you to meet the gauge with your chosen yarn. If you have more stitches than stated for the gauge swatch, you can try a smaller hook size. And if you have less stitches than the gauge in the pattern, you can try a larger hook size. Other supplies You will also need a yarn needle to weave in those ends, and 4 stitch markers to mark the seaming start and end points. hitpsnedandmimi convightweight-sleeveless-crochet-cardigan-pattery 125112122, 222 PM Sleeveless Crochet Cardigan - Free Patter | Ned & Mimi hitpsinedandmimi conightweight-sleeveless-crochet-cadigan-pattery 8125112122, 222 PM Sleeveless Crochet Cardigan - Free Patter |Ned & Mimi Crochet Cardigan Sizing The sleeveless cardigan is designed to be quite loose-fitting, with approx. 6-8” of positive ease on the bust. If you would like your cardigan to have more of a “classic” fit, feel free to size down when choosing your the size you will make.

In this pattern, the cardigan is designed to be larger than the actual bust measurement, hence the term “positive ease.” The sizes in this pattern are based on the body measurements as laid out by the Craft Yarn Council. Before you start, it is a good idea to go through the pattern and highlight/mark the stitch and row counts that correspond to the size you are making (this will make your life much easier!).
