A lovely comfy and slouchy lighter weight cardigan for the Spring, Marchs kit includes everything you need to make the Helens Closet Blackwood Cardigan.
This is such a cosy and versatile addition to your wardrobe. Designed for layering in mind, this lighter weight version of the garment is great for transitioning between the seasons when you still need a bit of extra warmth but don’t want to over do it. It’s perfect for wearing under jackets while also looking stylish over t-shirts and dresses.
With minimal excess fabric in the front it is worn open and loose with no front closure, but with a closer fit around the neck and shoulders.
The set in sleeves also give a more fitted look over the shoulders compared to other slouchy style cardigans with drop sleeves.
Choose between two lengths: mid-thigh or hip length. You can also add on options pockets. The sleeves are extra long but can easily be shortened to your preference.
