Can I substitute a different yarn?

How do I choose the right size?
This cardigan has a positive ease of approximately 2″ (5 cm).
IMPORTANT! Don’t forget to check your gauge before starting the project.
Instructions to crochet and check your gauge swatch:
R1: ch 22, dc in the 4th ch from hook, dc in each ch. 20 sts. From here on, at the beginning of each row ch 1 loosely — this does NOT count as the first stitch.
R2: 20 hdc.
R3 (DC): 20 dc. Repeat R2 and R3 × 5 times.
Once your swatch is done, use a measuring tape and count how many stitches and rows you have in 4″ (10 cm). If you have more stitches than the gauge, try a larger hook. If you have fewer stitches, try a smaller hook.
