I'm a beginner and want to crochet a cardigan - stumped on what yarn to use and the expenses that come with it

Hi there! I hope it’s ok to ask this here. I’ve been wanting to crochet an almost floor length cardigan, so I would need a lot of yarn. The pattern said they used a Level 4/Worsted weight yarn and had a gauge of 8 stitches and 6 rows on 4"x4". Now, I can’t really find out what equals as worsted weight yarn here in Europe,...

Lemmine,

Thanks for your question. Sure it is okay to ask here, this community needs more active members.

As for your question: I also haven’t got a clue about worsted weight yarn as I am from Europe myself. So what I do is look for a similar gauge and buy whatever I like. Works out fine most of the time.

Yarn is expensive in large amounts and wool even more so. So 180€ seems normal-ish for this amount of wool. I am sure you could do cheaper than that but not too much. I would consider making the cardigan from cotton yarn, which is still gonna be expensive but probably less than 180€

Hope I could help!

Lemmine,

I am not since I watched the latest season of rick and morty. Ahhh

Lemmine,

The one where O’Neill steals alien stuff to go undercover with a rogue NID group to catch them in the act. O’Neill meets a Mr. Newman via a goauld television communication device. As he is not happy to see him, O’Neill greets him with a “hello Newman” that sounds very much like the way jerry Seinfeld adresses his neighbor.

Lemmine,
