Buy the Blackwood Cardigan sewing pattern from Helen’s Closet. The Blackwood Cardigan is a cosy and versatile addition to your wardrobe. Designed with layering in mind, it has minimal excess fabric in the front and a close fit around the neck and shoulders. Its fitted shape and extra long sleeves make it perfect for wearing under jackets and vests, while also looking stylish over tank tops and dresses. View B ends at the hips, while View A extends down to the mid-thigh and includes patch pockets at hand level. The Blackwood is intended to be worn open and is not designed to close at the front.

This sewing pattern is available to buy in the following formats:

The PDF files will be emailed immediately after purchase, and the A0 pattern sheets will be dispatched next working day). Choose the B-cup pattern for sizes 0 – 22 or the D-cup pattern for sizes 12 – 34. What is Copy Shop?

What we think: The proof is in the pudding with this pattern. It’s been made up by so many members of the community. It’s really versatile in terms of what you can wear it with and using different weight jerseys can transform its look.

Suggested fabrics: Light to medium weight knit fabrics with at least 40% stretch widthwise and 20% stretch lengthwise. Try a cosy sweater knit or french terry for a warm layer or make it in jersey for a lightweight cover-up.

Fabric requirements: The fabric requirements are provided for 59″ (150 cm) wide fabric. When using fabric narrower than that, the bottom band pattern piece for sizes 32-34 will not fit onto it. In this case please select a wider fabric or follow the instructions in the pattern for how to piece the bottom band together.

View A (longer): 59″ (150 cm) wide fabric: 1.9 – 3 yd (1.7 – 2.7 m) // 45″ (114 cm) wide fabric (sizes 0-18 only): 2 – 2.8 yd (1.8 – 2.6 m).

View B (shorter): 59″ (150 cm) wide fabric: 1.7 – 2.5 yd (1.5 – 2.3 m) // 45″ (114 cm) wide fabric (sizes 0-22 only): 1.8 – 2.5 yd (1.6 – 2.3 m).

Sizing: 0 – 34 (approx. UK 6 – 34, based on our standardised size chart). This pattern includes two size options. There is a B-cup pattern for sizes 0 – 22 and a D-cup pattern for sizes 12 – 34. Please check the designer’s size chart and finished garment measurements.
