Summer models
Most often, summer cardigans are crocheted from fancy patterns.
Craftswomen choose fine cotton threads. Such threads allow air to pass through well, which allows you to feel the coolness in the summer heat.
If you are crocheting an openwork cardigan, choose dense natural threads, for example "Iris". To create a cardigan with knitting needles, it is better to choose a little twisted thread with the addition of acrylic.
Winter models
In order for a winter openwork cardigan not only to decorate your bow, but also to warm, pay attention to the composition of the threads from which the cardigan is connected
100% natural threads do not hold their shape well, they stretch. Because of this, the fancy pattern can deform when worn. This cannot but affect your appearance.
Cardigans, knitted of alpaca wool or other dense threads with openwork inserts on the back, on the placket are an excellent choice in favor of warmth and beauty. These cardigans are comfortable to wear under winter parkas.
