Saffran cardigan is a perfect winter and holiday cardigan, the colour work is not only beautiful but also gives extra warmth to the cardigan. Saffran is knit in the round from the bottom up in one piece and then steeked open, the pattern include instructions for this so there is no need to be frightened of that step.
