Use these pyramids as toy scenery, or knit them as coloured blocks for toddlers to play with. As well as the two sizes pictured, we include an easy tool which will give you a pattern for any scale of pyramid.

Difficulty: Very easy

Stitches used: k2tog, p2tog

You will need:
• Beige wool. I used Double Knit (8-6 ply, “light worsted”.) Tension square: 10cm x 10cm square is 24 stitches across and 32 rows. Making both pyramids used just over 50g.
• Knitting needles – I used UK size 11 (3.0mm, US size 2.5)
• Blunt sewing needle with an eye big enough to thread your wool through
• Stuffing
• Optional: scrap pieces of cardboard
