Generally, a crochet cardigan can be completed within a week but it depends on your skill level and the complexity of the pattern. More elaborate designs will naturally take longer, while simple crochet cardigan projects that incorporate basic stitches will be quicker to complete. Having the right tools and yarn also helps streamline the process.
The best yarn for cardigans depends on the season. For breathable summer crochet cardigans use cotton or bamboo lightweight yarn. If you want to make a warm garment for cooler weather go for wool or acrylic yarns such as Red Heart Soft or Lion Brand Wool-Ease. The weight of the yarn you choose will affect not only the style but also the way the cardigan fits on the body. Remember to always refer to your pattern for the best yarn options.
