Silly stripes cardigan

Remember my Sensible Stripes Cardigan? Which was the second attempt at a stripy cotton cover-up for summer? Well, here, thanks to Lara's prodding, is the first attempt, photographed in the same spot for comparison purposes.
Not entirely unwearable, but definitely at the younger end of the wardrobe spectrum...

It was made using the same top down raglan calculator as the other one, but I think I must have given myself more ease on this one. I also did not do any waist shaping, so it's rather more dumpy than it's sequel.
I used an Italian unmercerized cotton DK yarn, Adriafil Cotone Nature (although the pink was in the discontinued Adriafil Cotone Povero. It was replaced by the Nature range, but Povero was a tiny bit finer, and hence went further) I had three balls of the pink and the yellow, and four of the blue (or 2, 2, 3. Maybe.) In any case, I ran out of the yellow and had to fudge the bottom of both the sleeves and the body, and then I ran out of the blue, and had to do the second button band in pink.

In other news- they broke the Tate!
