The Rainbow Loopy Cardi is part magical parrot, part rock ‘n roll, and a whole lot of fun to make and wear. Designed to be big, bold and in your face, but easy enough to customise with different colour choices. Try shades of one colour for an ombré effect, or go for an understated statement in a single tone.

The Rainbow Loopy Cardi is worked seamlessly, to reduce bulk as much as possible. Instructions and a photo tutorial of the loopy stitch in included in the pattern. The hardest part? Picking the colours!

The Rainbow Loopy Cardi is an oversized fit. You may wish to knit a smaller size for a closer fit.

The adult model is a UK size 10-12 and is wearing the Rainbow Loopy Cardi in size medium.
