Budget-friendly yarn:
When we talk about a more budget-friendly alternative, it is a good idea to omit the mohair in the sweater. It is typically the one that makes the jersey more expensive.
HOWEVER, if you love mohair like I do, go for a more budget-friendly kind. For example I myself love Drops Kid-Silk, as I think it delivers high quality at a low price. Find Drops Kid-Silk here.
