About the pattern
The Riscas Camisole is a simple top down striped garment and a perfect first striped project. First, you knit the front and back panels flat, establishing the stripe pattern and shaping the armholes. After, you will join in the round, casting on for the underarms. After knitting in the round with no shaping for a bit, you begin shaping the camisole for the waist. The body of the camisole is finished with a rib edge. When the camisole is complete, you pick up stitches along the top to make the i-cord finishings and the straps.

Yarn
I used around 165 g of scrap unlabeled yarn (I’m fairly certain it was Barbante Beatriz). Any DK yarn that fits gauge will be good.
Colour A -- 95 g | around 240 m
Colour B -- 70 g | around 200 m

About the stripes
Colours will be refered to as colour A and colour B. Colour A will be the predominant colour, it will be the one you cast on with and do the applied i-cord with. Throughout the pattern, stripe indications will be given.
