Product Insights
The Patchwork Crochet Open Cardigan by Contemporaine offers a faux-crochet machine knit with uniform stretch and lighter drape, priced at $99 CAD — comparable to DIY yarn cost but saving hours of hand-crocheting. Its 100% acrylic construction ensures shape retention and easy care (machine wash cold, lay flat dry), but acrylic pilling is irreversible, requiring a fabric shaver for restoration. Layered over a top, the open knit feels breathable and lightweight, preventing any acrylic itch.
