Cedar
Cedar features bands of colorwork in differing contrast colors gradually building to a gorgeous star motif. Increases are worked in the plain MC rounds between the colorwork to help make Cedar an easy and fun sweater to knit. Cedar is knit seamlessly in the round from the top down. Short rows shape the back neck for an amazing fit. These short rows can be eliminated if desired for an even easier knit.
Cedar is part of the Woodland Ramble collection. The entire collection is available as both an ebook and printed book here on my website as well.
