Loopy is a giant loop that can be styled many ways. It's playful, rich in color, has lots of textures and it also sports GIANT bobbles in the middle. How fun!
This is literally is a huge circle that is knitted of course in the round with two of our fab Wheely cakes in the main body and a bulky weight grey chenille yarn. The Chenille starts this loop off with a Picot cast on and also ends it again with a Picot bind off. If you haven't tried this yet, not to worry the pattern talks you through it.
The pattern is fully written. The unblocked measurements are 10" in width and 112" in overall length.
