Everyone needs a Blackwood!

A review of Helen's Closet Blackwood Cardigan

Reviewed by sewminigems on 28th February, 2020

I am on my second Blackwood cardigan and already planning my third, this is such a versatile garment.  The two I have made are both the longline version, and the next one will be the short version.  It is a really simple make, and the instructions are very clear.  I made both of mine on my sewing machine using a walking foot, then overlocked the seam allowances, as the fabrics I used were quite thick.  It could be made entirely on the overlocker in which case it would be a super quick make.

I shortened it by two inches as I am only 5’4″.

Take a look on my blog for more details on my make:  https://sewminigems.wordpress.com/2020/01/19/blackwood-cardigan-essential-basic-for-your-me-made-wardrobe/
