Should i crochet a sweater/cardigan/vest?

HIIIIIII! As (almost) everyone knows, it’s winterrrrrrrrr!!! It’s getting nice and cool where i live and i will be going somewhere chilly :cold_face: soon. Most of the “outerwears” that i have are like hoodies. I want smth like maybe a lightweight cardi or a vest or even a sweater. Should i crochet one? If i do, then what should i crochet? A sweater or a cardigan or a vest?? If you have any suggestions, then please comment below and it would be really helpful if you also leave a link to a free pattern below. TYSMMMMM!!!
Disclaimer: i have NEVER EVER crocheted clothing b4, only a beanie for my grandma.

it really does depend. it should say on most patterns, but you can try and look it up and see how many skeins it would take to make a sweater. ive never made a sweater before, so i wouldnt know haha!

I’m not sure, possibly 800-1000 yards, but again I’m not sure. so I’d check the pattern you are using. maybe @Elaya could help, she just made a super cute sweater!!
