Saga is a women’s cardigan with stranded colorwork patterns in easy-to-knit panels with short floats. All the edges are finished with crochet in a contrast color. The cardigan is worked in the round from the top down with a yoke. The yoke is shaped with increases and then split for body and sleeves which are each worked separately. Finally, the cardigan is cut up the center front steek before the front bands are knitted on.
