Smoked Orange Cable Cardigan

Knit the Smoked Orange Cable Cardigan by Thea Coleman 5 Tuesdays, 5-7pm: August 25, September 8, October 20, December 3 & 10 The Smoked Orange Cardigan is all about deep texture and vibrant color. We just love how striking this simple cardigan is. The cardigan is worked flat from the bottom up in one piece, split at armholes into two fronts and the back, which are worked to shoulders. Once shoulders are seamed, sleeve stitches are picked up around armholes and worked in the round to cuff. Two small strips are worked upwards from shoulders and joined at back neck to finish to the edging before button band is picked up around the front opening and worked flat to end.
