Redefine Knitting Basics with The Basica Vest!

Born from a standout yarn pairing—Uno Alpaca Merino with Kidsilk Mohair—the Basica Vest offers a beautifully contrasted, lightweight layer. The Alpaca adds subtle melange, while the Mohair brings a dreamy halo for soft depth and easy wear.

Knit top-down in the round, it features a classic V-neck, clean lines, and a lace panel on the front. Layer it over summer dresses or winter knits for effortless year-round style.

Designed by Unravelled Founder, Sheryl Nicholson.

Please note: there are no tutorials included with this kit.


Your kit is carefully packaged and delivered to your door with everything you need to knit your project.

    Handmade Happiness

    I'm absolutely thrilled with my knitted vest. Once again, Unravelled have produced an easy to follow, Row by Row top-down pattern. I also like how they have given a couple of suggestions on lengthening your Vest if desired. Loving the roomy fit.
