Yarn kit for the Boyfriend Sweater by LeKnit.

The Boyfriend Sweater is designed with a relaxed, oversized fit, combining a saddle shoulder and raglan construction. This gives it an excellent fit and makes it the perfect companion for every occasion.

The Boyfriend Sweater is worked seamlessly from the top down with Tynn Peer Gynt and Alpakka Folgetråd. This makes it never too warm or too cold—always just right! The yarn combination is soft without being too fluffy, and is also lightweight and beautifully fine!

Knitted in stockinette stitch, the Boyfriend Sweater is simple and beautiful.

Beautiful everyday basic sweater for all occasions!
