Made of Rainbows

I really love the rainbow sweater Marcus wears in About A Boy. Is this a real thing?

The closest I've found is on this craft blog. But does anyone know who retails it? Or was it made for the movie? I would like to rock this all autumn if possible!

Since it was probably made for the movie, you probably won't find it in stores. But you can contact the woman who made the one in the pictures via her blog.

It brings sunshine into my heart to think of someone wearing this sweater.

ok, so this isn't the same sweater, and it's kid-sized...but it's still AWESOME.

Etsy Alchemy.

Etsy alchemy doesn't exist anymore, but you can request custom items from sellers. You're looking for someone who is skilled at intarsia.

FWIW, I search rainbow cloud sweater regularly on the internets b/c I love the sweater you're talking about so much.
