First - 
​Let me tell you about the yarn I chose to use for my design.

Baby Summer - Light Orchid
Baby Summer by Ice Yarns
Fiber Content : 60% Cotton, 40% Acrylic
Needle Size : 3 mm. / US 3
Weight : 50 gr. / 1.76 oz. per ball
Length : 160 m. / 174 yds. per ball
Yarn Thickness : 2 Fine: Sport, Baby
Gauge : 24 stitches and 28 rows on 10 cm x 10 cm (4' x 4')
Baby Summer yarn is FANTASTIC!! It has the smooth, non-fuzzy look of cotton, but it also has an amazing sheen & drape that it is perfect for summer garments. The yarn glides over the hook with fluid ease that makes it wonderful to work with. The colors are also fantastic - 26 colors ranging from lights to brights! Also, because the yarn is an acrylic blended with cotton, it make the yarn less dense than 100% cotton yarns, so it has a lighter feel to the overall crochet item!!
