Black and Pink Chunky Cotton Stripped Sweater

I started this project to use the remnants of black and pale pink chunky cotton from previous projects. I had two skeins of each colour, so I thought that I would have enough to make a cropped tight jumper. 

I followed Ann Budd's book to make a seamless yoked jumper, knitted in the round without any seam. 

At the end, I needed to buy one more skein in each colour, but it was still worth it. 

The jumper could have been tighter, I think. I made it in size 40, the sleeves are quite tight, but the bodice has still some ease. The length is great, and it combines great with high-waisted pants or long dresses like the one in the picture. 

I finished at the beginning of summer, but I could pack it for my holidays in the Czech Republic, where it was cold in the evenings, and it felt great to wear. I love this chunky cotton, because it is cool, warm but not itchy, so I can wear it on my naked skin.
