Zippy Cardi

**Please note that this pattern has not been tested!** The Zippy Cardi is a top down raglan with a cozy hood, zipper closure and i-cord edges. I have included instructions for optional short rows. You also need to be able to pick up stitches to make this project. The stripes on my version are 15 rows wide but you could easily knit this with smaller stripes or none at all. This pattern involves lots and lots of purling. If you dislike purling, I recommend choosing an uneven number of rows for the stripes, so you can start and end on a right side (knit) row! I have written up this pattern in my own size (I am 179cm tall and have an 85cm chest circumference) and made it available as a free download. Intermediate/advanced knitters will be able to adapt this to their size. If you have trouble following the pattern, message me on Instagram (@kisskiss.rhinestones). If you make this cardigan, please tag me and #zippycardi on Instagram! I would love to see your projects <3
