Shades of Coral Cardigan is a beautiful light weight cardigan worked in a simple and easy to memorize bamboo stitch pattern. Worked from the bottom up in one piece to the underarms. The back and fronts are then worked separately. The shoulders can be seemed or joined with an optional kitchener stitch. Stitches are picked up from the underarm to the shoulders and back down again to be worked circular to the cuff making this a truly on-piece cardigan!

While any fingering weight can be used, HiKoo Concentric
Cotton has become a favorite of mine because of its beautiful color changes and soft drape! You can see it in my other patterns, Purple HazeTee and Strawberry Fields Cardigan with still more in my stash waiting for design ideas!
