The Saturno Cardigan is a knitting pattern for babies and children, featuring a colourful circular yoke and the distinctive Hoops Stitch. Combined with stockinette stitch, this textured design gives a timeless cardigan a playful touch.

The cardigan is worked from the top down, with gradual increases shaping the circular yoke. Once the yoke is complete, the sleeve stitches are placed on hold while the body is knitted. The sleeves are then worked down to the cuffs, with decreases shaping them along the way. Finally, stitches are picked up to knit the front button bands and buttonholes.
