I am a size xs/s and made a cropped hexi cardigan and I think I used 4-5 skeins of 100g yarn if that helps . Usually yhe pattern creator has the size and estimated yarn needed in the notes /vid desc

Edit: forgot to add that I used 4.5 mm hook + dk yarn

When I made mine, I used DK wt because I’m a big girl and I didnt want it to be too heavy, the chart for my size said 2600 yards, so I got 3000 yards to be safe, lol, but it only took about 2100 yards to make it so they must have already put a safety net yardage in the chart, lol.
