Adult Love Lowly Sweater: Richard Scarry's Busy World™
Our Love Lowly Sweater brings Lowly Worm's warm personality off the pages of Busytown and into the world. The worm in the green Tyrolean hat and red sneaker turns up everywhere with the same open-hearted enthusiasm and willingness to lend a hand... um, foot.
Here, Lowly loops into the word "Love," appliquéd and embroidered onto a mid-weight 100% cotton knit. Lowly advises to please take a look at the size chart below when ordering, because this unisex sweater has a fit that runs slightly smaller than typical men's sizing and slightly larger than typical women's sizing.

Richard Scarry introduced the world to Busytown in 1963, when he published The Best Word Book Ever, the book that set the style he'd build on for the rest of his career. He'd bought his own Tyrolean hat years earlier, on a trip through the Alps, and later gave one just like it to a little worm who would become one of his most enduring characters. Scarry kept creating in and around Busytown for the rest of his life, working from a small studio in Switzerland, and today his son Huck carries the stories forward, including new adventures for Lowly Worm himself.
This unique sweater marks the start of our collaboration with Richard Scarry's Busy World. It is produced in limited quantities, with the highest attention to detail and quality, ensuring it will become an heirloom treasured for years to come.
Take a look at the size guide in the last image to help you make your selection, and send us an email here if you have questions. We are always happy to exchange sizes to help you find the best fit!
This sweater is 100% cotton, so it is comfortable in the spring and fall can be layered over other clothing in the winter for more warmth.
This style is machine washable in cold water, and we recommend laying flat to dry.
100% Cotton
This style was designed in our studio in Massachusetts and made in China. In 2019 we embarked on the process of finding overseas manufacturers that were in accord with our ethical design and manufacturing processes, as well as able to comply with the strict guidelines required by our licensing partners. We are proud of the resulting partnerships which will allow us to keep more products in stock year round, and committed to transparency so that you know where your garments are made.
