Blackwood Cardigan

A review of Helen's Closet Blackwood Cardigan

Reviewed by Emmas_Atelier on 18th August, 2022

I chose mid-weight purple merino from Fabricbox and the blue merino from For Fabric Sake. I used 1.5m of 145cm wide fabric for each cardigan. Both versions are size L in the shorter version. I sewed the garments entirely on my overlocker.

The Blackwood upper sleeve is designed to be narrow, which isn’t the best for layering. I changed the shape of the upper sleeve. I cut and spread the top section of the sleeve pattern to add a box pleat detail – this allows more ease in the upper sleeve head.
