I ve been working on a pretty big big order, Four sweaters. I sent her the first one and she loved it. So glad because i'm my own worse critic.
It's a crochet pattern by Glenda Bohard-Avila called Gypsy Cardigan. She sells the pattern on Etsy. The cardigan is made with an open work pattern of treble crochet stitches, and comes with directions for different sizes. The first one i made (shown) was made with purple acrylic yarn called 0356 Amethyst by Red Heart.
The pattern said you can use either acrylic or cotton. I'm now making the second one using a cotton yarn- Peaches & Creme Ecru. I bought all the store had, and figured i could go on line to get more, but i haven't found any. I may have to be creative here with a color close enough and work it in the trim or something if i run short.

Yes you are correct, but i think with special handling, like hand wash/drying the cotton can retain it's shape. Since this has a lot of open work, i believe it will accommodate.
This took me about two weeks
