Just like it’s big sister, Cedar Lake Baby is a classic raglan cardigan dressed up with not-too-girly lace panels. Worked at a finer gauge than the big kid version, Cedar Lake Baby is a perfect layering sweater - just warm enough to keep away the chill on brisk spring days and cool summer evenings

Cedar Lake features a top-down raglan construction, panels of totem pole lace, a mini shawl collar, and a single button closure at the neck. The body is knit flat, sleeves are worked in the round, and the button band and collar are picked up from the cardigan edges and knit last.

This pattern is suitable for advanced beginners. It features several techniques, including knitting in the round, short row shaping, lace knitting, and a modified lifted increase. The pattern includes a photo tutorial for the lifted increase as well as links to other helpful technique tutorials. The lace in this pattern is worked from charts.
