Suggested Yarns and Colors

For a soft and elegant feel, consider using lightweight DK or worsted-weight yarn with a gentle drape. Here are some great options:

Cotton Blend Yarn: Ideal for breathability and a soft touch, perfect for spring and summer wear. Try Lion Brand Truboo or Drops Cotton Merino for a silky, lightweight feel.

Acrylic or Wool Blend Yarn: If you’re looking for warmth and durability, opt for yarns like Paintbox Simply DK, Red Heart Soft, or WeCrochet Swish Worsted for a cozy yet elegant finish.

Alpaca or Mohair Blend: For a delicate, luxurious cardigan, try Drops Kid-Silk or Lion Brand Feels Like Alpaca to achieve a soft, airy texture.

As for colors, soft pastels like blush pink, lavender, and ivory will enhance the romantic, floral-inspired design. If you prefer a more vibrant look, deep reds, emerald greens, or even mustard yellow can add a bold, modern twist. Neutrals like beige, taupe, or charcoal are great for a timeless and versatile piece that pairs effortlessly with any outfit.
