Cloud Top Knitting Pattern - PetiteKnit
Cloud Top
The Cloud Top is a lightweight, seamless summer knit worked from the top down. The construction begins with a shaped back yoke using short rows, followed by shaped shoulders worked flat, then joined to form the front. The yoke is joined under the arms, and the body is completed in the round. Simple stockinette edges finish the neckline and armholes. It's designed for light layering or wearing solo during warmer months, and features gentle positive ease for a polished yet relaxed silhouette.
