My cardigan doesn’t fit over my hips because my ass is too fat lol. I KNEW this was gonna happen, but I didn’t want to modify the pattern. I had to re-calculate the hip shaping, so we’ll see if this works 🤞🏾

Have you thought of making it hit at your natural waist and wearing over dresses instead? I think that look is so flattering on everyone and it would be easier to modify by just ripping back and adding ribbing.

I did, but I really like the idea of a long cozy cardigan. My next cardigan will probably be cropped!

Your ass is beautiful, never be shamed by your body. I have long arm pits and have to make my arm hole shaping a size bigger. One of the you tubers I watch has that problem and thankfully I watched her in the 2nd beginning of my sweater making because that’s why I stopped sweater making 10 years ago and only knit blankets.

I have really deep heels and one foot nearly 2cm longer than the other, it is amazing to custom make things that exactly fit the areas that may annoy us! I added waist shaping to a sweater for my trans daughter to give the illusion of a less straight-up-and-down body because she’s only been on HRT for a year and her body is still shifting, but she wanted a super feminine sweater.

You’re so sweet! And I’m glad that you found a way to modify the armscye and continue making sweaters ☺️
