About
This #SizeInclusive everyday cardigan is made with Lion Brand Feels Like Butta and uses a ribbed stitch pattern to produce a beautifully textured layering piece. Worked in simple, back-and-forth rows, this pattern uses vertical and horizontal lines to bring visual interest to this otherwise basic piece. Finishing touches such as the collar and front pockets bring a comfortable, casual feel.

The original Body Language Sweater was released in the beginning of 2020 and is one of my most popular designs; one that seems to fit wonderfully on all shapes and sizes every time. Making your own clothes is empowering, allowing you to create pieces that perfectly fit your unique body measurements. This cardigan is designed with this in mind – to become a closet staple that you can easily adjust to fit your body and make you feel beautiful while you wear it.
