Pyramid Cloud is a cardigan version of my design Pyramid Light. It is worked seamlessly from the top down. I have used easier increases for this version. This cardigan is back-to-front reversible.

Pyramid Cloud is graded with inclusive sizing in mind, designed to fit actual bust sizes from 76 cm / 30 inches to 168 cm / 66 inches. Measurements are given in both cm and inches.
