Yarn kit for the Basically Perfect Sweater by Kutovakika.

This simple sweater belongs in every wardrobe! It is wonderfully easy to knit yet particularly beautiful. The Basically Perfect Sweater has an excellent fit thanks to its boxy cut and drop shoulders. Its short length also makes it easy to pair with skirts and dresses.

The sweater is knitted simply in stockinette stitch from the top down. You knit it with three strands held together: one wool yarn, one alpaca yarn, and one strand of mohair. I have put together the most beautiful Sandnes yarns for you: Tynn Peer Gynt, Alpakka Følgetråd, and Tynn Silk Mohair.

You can wear the Basically Perfect Sweater every day; it is wonderfully comfortable and incredibly soft and cozy. It flatters your figure and will simply make you happy!
