Fantastic ideas ….thank you so much 💕 I think the Tilly cardigan in brown/ black looks great on you… I have to make this and definitely the marlow… Love all of your videos and makes.. Thank you so very much for all of the inspiration, motivation and fun videos ☺️👍👏💕Xxx
I think the dark rust coloured Bertha cardigan looks fantastic on you including its rust colour. My favourite cardigan is Butterick 6961 - which a girls cardigan. I enlarge it a bit for my adult figure. I have made one cardigan from it about 3 years back - which is pilling badly. So I will taking the buttons off this cardigan and making another cardigan from Butterick 6961 from dusty pink fleece back fabric.
Lovely vlog Tamlyn! I’m a cardi person too! 5 Harpers - 4 in Cable Knit - two with pattern matched upsized pockets, and a McCall Shawl M7254 Cardi in 2 lengths.
Fall/autumn 2023 is just around the corner and my mind is going to all of my sweater knits waiting to be made up into cozy sweaters and cardigans. This was really helpful to help me get focused on patterns. BTW, in the US we use the term 'sweater' for garments that go over the head and 'cardigan' for anything that is open at the front (both using sweater knits, lightweight or heavy).
Great video. ❤Here in the US we also call them cardigans. A sweater is a knit garment that you pull over your head. A sweatshirt is a casual garment generally in French Terry or sweatshirt fleece that is also pulled over your head. Confusing enough? 😉 I love my Marlos and my favorite pattern is free; Sinclair Harper. I do not at all like a cardi that cannot be pulled together at the front so I never understood all the love for Blackwood. I made one at the beginning of my sewing journey and won't make it again.
I love a cardi !!! And like you I have loads, i just find them such a versatile garment. Great vlog ad interesting, thank you for taking the time to share
Great video! My favorite is the Juniper Cardigan by Jennifer Lauren Handmade. I’ve made 5 of them! You’re right. We call everything a sweater! But now I’m starting to differentiate between Cardigan’s and pullovers, etc. All of the Cardigan’s suit you Tamlyn - Enjoy them all!
This is one of my favorite videos you have done. I have made the Blackwood cardigan twice. I love the pattern. I would like to try the Fjord style next.
Loved this video Tamlyn. My favourite of your makes is the Fjord in the pink and double sided fabric. The way you used the fabric is amazing - so creative. I’ve made several Blackwoods and love them all. However, I do find the sleeves too close-fitting if you want to wear anything underneath. Also, I always double the width of the neckband to give me more coverage😂 at the front. Top 5 tops would be good. Very professional presentation style by the way 💕
Very helpful vlog, thank you. Lovely to see all the different styles, fabrics and colourways on you. Would love to see more top 5s. A jumper top 5 would be great.
OMG thank you! I have the Marlo pattern which I love but have not made. Also have this knit jacquard I have in two colorways and have become very precious about. Anyway, the Marlo in the jacquard is perfect for my life style. A very big thank you.
Love this style video where you compare your makes within a category - really shows the differences on REAL made garments - all look lovely on you. I think you can get away with the brown cardi as long as you wear black underneath to coordinate with the hares on the cardi. Best color match for you was the teal/aqua blue Carrie cardi as it perfectly matched your eyes!!! I'm impressed enough with your Marlo crop with buttons to go ahead and give it a try myself.
I made a couple of very lightweight Bertha cardigans. Which don’t crease and end up being thrown on the car foot well or at home somewhere. I’ve not made a winter one. I use the thumb cuffs to add to lots of knit sweatshirts and tops. I was thinking of the True Bias cardigan. Now I’m not sure what to try. I have a TATB Nora cardigan. Which cam free with a magazine. I might give that a try. I’m trying not to buy patterns. Unless I really know I’m going to make them up very soon. I enjoyed your video. It’s good to see them on you. As I’m terrible imagining clothing or fabric being worn. Thank you. I love your fun and friendly chats. 😁
Love your Bertha cardies as for the Marlo yours look great.I don’t know where I went wrong but despite going down a size mine just hung away from my body at the back and looked awful. I made two but never again.I think I will try the Blackwood as yours look really smart.Thank you Tamlyn for an interesting video.❤
Fantastic cardigans Tamlyn 👌💝.... I now need more cardigans in my life 😉. The Bertha is a great one and I think the rabbit version looks great on you 💞. Would love to see your favourite jumper patterns ✊😁😘
I don’t know why I haven’t made up the Bertha cardigan yet but so happy to see all your versions. I have it on my list of makes when I find the right fabrics! Thanks so much! The rust/black bunny version suits you perfectly. I say if it makes you smile then what more do you want from a garment, enjoy it!
Thankyou so much for this, just what I wanted!! Weather is getting colder 😂 I made a Grab a cuppa long line (no buttons) which worked well and am going to make the shorter version too(with buttons 😮).
Thank you Tamlyn, super video with some great suggestions & so pleased you tried each of them on - makes a big difference. Really liked the first one, so may end up making that but do have a couple of the love notions pattern so need to have a look at those patterns also. Thank you again.😊
I have all the patterns except for the first one. They all look great on you thanks for sharing. I am now ready to make second versions of all 😅I think in need to try colour blocking this year. The spot and stripe version looks bril.
In the USA, a cardigan is a TYPE of sweater. A sweater is anything knitted with the kind of yarn you would use with knitting needles or crochet needles and can include cardigans (opens fully down the front) and pull-over sweaters and turtleneck sweaters, etc. A cardigan can also by made from other kinds of knit fabrics, like interlock knit fabric but that wouldn't be a "sweater." And then there are sweatshirts which are made with things like french terry.
The brown and black bunny sweater looks good on you with the black top. Anyone can get away with any colour in a layering piece as long as they wear a colour thar is strong from their colour palate nearest their face, and also preferably in a print like yours is, in the layering piece.
Thanks for sharing your cardigans! A really fun video! I love wearing a cardigan! My favourite and only cardigan is a thrift shop find. A slightly oversized Arnold Palmer cardigan, if you can believe it!
Thank you for your reviews. I have the pPapercut cardigan and it was good to see it made up. I like the look of Sinclair patterns Harper Cardigan but have not seen a vlog on it.
I've made the Love Notions 'Boyfiend' cardigan (pdf from their site). Quick, easy, great size range . Plain band/ shawl collar/ hood and a coat. length too. I made in cable knit and get so much wear all year round.
Peppermint Magazine 'Slouchy Cardigan' (free pattern) I have made this in very light weight fabrics, lace and medium and heavy weight fabric ;and the Tilly & the Buttons 'Bertha Cardigan'
Such a brilliant idea to review your cardigan patterns. I love a cardigan but funnily enough I haven’t made any!! A Marlo sweater has just jumped to the top of my make list. Thank you Tamlyn for the great inspiration as always 😊
That’s a lot of cardigans Tamlyn 😂 I have a Sinclair Patterns Harper cardigan cut out and ready to sew. I do love a cardigan, especially a longline one. I never considered making them in a light weight knit before but yours are lovely, I think I’ll put a couple on the list for next summer ❤
That was really helpful thanks! I’m so keen to make my own cardigans so I can actually make them long enough for my gibbon like arms. Will give the Tilly and the Buttons one a go I think
I'm in the process of making the Bertha cardigan now!! I love Tilly & theButtons!! Thanks for sharing all your makes, some look like I could make easily. 😀
Wow! You really do have a lot of sweater cardigans . I love them all it’s not one that I didn’t like. Some of my favorites were the ones you did color blocking on and I think the very last one you tried on suited you just fine with black underneath it! Thanks so much for this video. Looking forward to your next video 👗🧵🪡🥰
The rusty cardigan worn with black is great! As long as the black is closest to your face, your fine!! I'm an advanced sewer, but I've never worked in a sweater knit. I was always worried that it would stretch and grow and be horrible to work with! Your cardigans all look great!
Love a cardi and love this vlog. Surprised you haven’t tried the harper cardigan by Sinclair patterns. I definitely need to make another Bertha and think I now need a cocoon one like yours in chunky knit 🧶
Hi Tamlyn I love all your cardigans, and I think the Bertha is my favourite but when you tried on the little black and pink one I thought I wonder what that would look like if it was worn back to front!? I bet it would look great, a bit like here I am in this plain sweatshirt and then pow! Party in the back lol, you gotta try it and I hope I’m right and it looks great 😊
This was really helpful. I haven't seen several of those. I think the orange with black bunnies suits you. I made the My Embrace Cardi by Pattern Emporium, and I love it. The best part is that my toddler son can cozy in my lap, and I can wrap us both in it. He loves it as much as I do ❤️
Thanks for sharing your cardigan patterns. I live in Canada and that is what I've always called them. I have made the Harper Cardigan a free pattern from Sinclair Patterns. It's a great pattern, I think it comes in 3 different lengths. I didn't add the buttons but I think when I make it again I will. I did find the sleeves a bit narrow, not great for layering. But I can easily alter that. Thanks for sharing all of your cardigans. Something I've done over the years with cardigans that are getting a bit worn out is just to wear them as a robe over my pjs. Also do you think the Bertha could be made a bit longer?
I have only made one cardigan which is the Bertha and I used the same fabric as your navy ribbed knit so we have matching cardis! I have worn it a lot. I have the Marlo and the Pearl cardigan patterns.
Love a cardi! Some lovely versions, I think the rust cardigan really suits you especially with a black top underneath. I ordered the Carrie cardigan last week based on your version 😍 hopefully it’ll arrive today. Thanks for sharing Tamlyn x
You can never have enough cardi's in my book. Love the papercut colour blocked one it looks very sporty. Classic black really does suit you Tamlyn but you can wear all the colours too!
Awesome vlog. It gives the viewer a more realistic view. I loved the double fabric and how you made the best use of the fabric and blended rather then chopped and pieced . I have a cable to make . Winter is coming in western Canada
Such an enjoyable video Tamlyn 😊 I love all your cardis. I don’t know why, but I have never made a cardigan 🤔. You have totally inspired me. Thank you ! X
Great pattern choices. I really want to make a blackwood. I have made a p4p cocoon cardigan for myself and use the annelaine coffee and tea for my MIL and SIL. I do need to make myself some more and have got some fabrics ready.
Oh gosh, now I need to make all these cardigans! I never really liked the look of the Bertha in the book but your versions have me sold on it. Thanks for a great vlog x
Great video Tamlyn, I hadn't heard of one of them so going to check that one out. There were a couple of others that I know of; the Sinclair Harper Cardigan - a free pattern similar to helens closet with 4 length options and the Jennifer Lauren Juniper cardigan - a much more fitted style like RTW cardigans.
Tamlyn I absolutely loved this video!! Why have I never made the Bertha, I have the pattern and your versions in different fabrics are wonderful. Keep the gates, it may not be your colour but it’s such a great piece and coordinates with black ❤ I am going to cut out a Bertha in some denim blue french Terry I have just bought . Inspirational!! X
Love this style of vlog Tamlyn 🥰 all you cardigans are gorgeous I can’t pick my favourite but you have given me the inspiration to make one… thanks for all your hard work putting the vlogs together xx
Lovely Cardigans Tamlyn. I’ve made the Marlo, and plan to make the Carrie (I bought the pattern that was free with the magazine from eBay) I’m waiting for the pattern to arrive. You are looking really well, I’m trying to check in with a few people I’m subscribed to. X
Lovely cardis and that last one definitely suits you btw 😊I’d like to try the Bertha. I’ve used a big four pattern a few times and looks very different in the fabrics I used.Butterick 6251. There’s 4 versions. Also used the itch to stitch Lisbon pattern in the cropped version. I find choosing the right fabric quite difficult and can’t decide. I really like the Marlo sweater too. Many thanks 😊
I liked the Fyord best. Am wondering whether you just cut the pockets a bit longer, so your hand would fit in. Of course they are also that inch higher then. Never seen that pattern before.
I too have the Bertha on my to do list however, I think they all looked great and couldn't pick a favourite either! The rust colour does suit you - do you have a separate room for all your Me Made clothes? xx
Love all of them! I bought the Carrie cardigan because of you and have already made one for myself and three for my sisters! I am definitely going to try the Bertha and Fjord! Thanks! By the way you can definitely get away with the Rust colored cardigan because of the black and it looked great with the black top you were wearing! Xoxo I’ve also made the Cocoon cardigan by Jalie, which I love - The next time I’m going to widen the sleeves, because it comes with a more fitted sleeve but it’s a really nice pattern with a lot of options.
If you like style of Carrie cardigan I would recommend checking self drafted pattern by Thoughtful Creativity- her Cocoon cardi is similar style and soo easy to draft. I made it for last 2 years for gifts for friends and family and everyone loved it.
Great video. Was great to see the variety of looks. Would love the top five jumper patterns video. BTW, I was expecting to see the Sinclair Harper cardigan (similar to Helen’s closet). Forget Me Not patterns also just released a new cardigan pattern called Kirsi.
I think I noticed that your cabled sweaters were lined and I wanted to know if they were also Blackwood sweaters. Also did you have to size up to line it?
My favorite on you is your 'Hare' version. All your makes are lovely. ~ L
Thank you so much for trying on your cardigans. It makes such a difference to be able to see them in action on a person. I love them all.
Fantastic ideas ….thank you so much 💕
I think the Tilly cardigan in brown/ black looks great on you…
I have to make this and definitely the marlow…
Love all of your videos and makes..
Thank you so very much for all of the inspiration, motivation and fun videos ☺️👍👏💕Xxx
I'm all about cardigans. My body temperature seems to fluctuate all the time so cardigans are perfect. My favorite is the Harper. Free pattern.
I love the bunny Cardigan on you.. Too cute you should wear it for sure
I love you "bloopers" so fun!
I liked all the cardigans.
I love making the Sinclair Harper cardigans.
I think the dark rust coloured Bertha cardigan looks fantastic on you including its rust colour.
My favourite cardigan is Butterick 6961 - which a girls cardigan. I enlarge it a bit for my adult figure. I have made one cardigan from it about 3 years back - which is pilling badly.

Ooh lovely cardis Tamlyn. Never made one yet so may need to find some fabric that takes my fancy and have a go.
Thanks for the inspiration 🤓🏴
OMG thank you! I have the Marlo pattern which I love but have not made. Also have this knit jacquard I have in two colorways and have become very precious about. Anyway, the Marlo in the jacquard is perfect for my life style. A very big thank you.
You also MADE me buy the Marlo sweater pattern.. 😅😂
I’ve just come across your channel. Great video. I now feel inspired to make some cardigans.
I really enjoyed this, thank you.
We call them cardigans here in Australia too tamlyn

Ok so you have the best Cardigan collection ever! Absolutely loved every one of them 😂. Think my fave was the Bertha with the stars on ⭐️ ❤
Absolutely love the green boucle cardigan. The color in the cup are awesome
Peppermint Magazine 'Slouchy Cardigan' (free pattern) I have made this in very light weight fabrics, lace and medium and heavy weight fabric ;and the Tilly & the Buttons 'Bertha Cardigan'
Such a brilliant idea to review your cardigan patterns. I love a cardigan but funnily enough I haven’t made any!! A Marlo sweater has just jumped to the top of my make list. Thank you Tamlyn for the great inspiration as always 😊
Fabulous vlog Tamlyn I love all of your versions of cardigans I’ve got the Carrie cardigan and I definitely want to make one after seeing yours 🥰
Loved seeing your fjord cardigan as I have that next to cut out, it looks great! Thanks!
Carrie ✅ Bertha ✅ love them both ❤ not tried the others but the Marlo is next on my sewing table!
Thanks Tamlyn great vid x
That’s a lot of cardigans Tamlyn 😂 I have a Sinclair Patterns Harper cardigan cut out and ready to sew. I do love a cardigan, especially a longline one. I never considered making them in a light weight knit before but yours are lovely, I think I’ll put a couple on the list for next summer ❤

We call those button up or open front sweaters cardigans in the US as well.
Love your collection!
Great vlog. I'm off to the Foldline to get the Carrie pattern.
This was really helpful. I haven't seen several of those. I think the orange with black bunnies suits you. I made the My Embrace Cardi by Pattern Emporium, and I love it. The best part is that my toddler son can cozy in my lap, and I can wrap us both in it. He loves it as much as I do ❤️

Love your cardis, my favourite is the Blackwood, but they are all great. I always knit my cardigans though x
I have only made one cardigan which is the Bertha and I used the same fabric as your navy ribbed knit so we have matching cardis! I have worn it a lot.
I have the Marlo and the Pearl cardigan patterns.
Thank you Tamlyn...that was a really good vlog. Love all your cardigans. Great inspiration there.
Love a cardi! Some lovely versions, I think the rust cardigan really suits you especially with a black top underneath.

You can never have enough cardi's in my book. Love the papercut colour blocked one it looks very sporty. Classic black really does suit you Tamlyn but you can wear all the colours too!
Awesome vlog. It gives the viewer a more realistic view. I loved the double fabric and how you made the best use of the fabric and blended rather then chopped and pieced . I have a cable to make . Winter is coming in western Canada
My favorite cady pattern at the moment is Megan Longline Cardigan by Tesutti Patterns. Great for super drapey, swishy knits.
Such an enjoyable video Tamlyn 😊 I love all your cardis. I don’t know why, but I have never made a cardigan 🤔. You have totally inspired me. Thank you ! X
Great pattern choices. I really want to make a blackwood. I have made a p4p cocoon cardigan for myself and use the annelaine coffee and tea for my MIL and SIL. I do need to make myself some more and have got some fabrics ready.
Oh gosh, now I need to make all these cardigans! I never really liked the look of the Bertha in the book but your versions have me sold on it. Thanks for a great vlog x

Love this style of vlog Tamlyn 🥰 all you cardigans are gorgeous I can’t pick my favourite but you have given me the inspiration to make one… thanks for all your hard work putting the vlogs together xx
Lovely Cardigans Tamlyn. I’ve made the Marlo, and plan to make the Carrie (I bought the pattern that was free with the magazine from eBay) I’m waiting for the pattern to arrive. You are looking really well, I’m trying to check in with a few people I’m subscribed to. X
Lovely cardis and that last one definitely suits you btw 😊I’d like to try the Bertha. I’ve used a big four pattern a few times and looks very different in the fabrics I used.Butterick 6251. There’s 4 versions. Also used the itch to stitch Lisbon pattern in the cropped version. I find choosing the right fabric quite difficult and can’t decide. I really like the Marlo sweater too. Many thanks 😊
I liked the Fyord best. Am wondering whether you just cut the pockets a bit longer, so your hand would fit in. Of course they are also that inch higher then. Never seen that pattern before.
I too have the Bertha on my to do list however, I think they all looked great and couldn't pick a favourite either! The rust colour does suit you - do you have a separate room for all your Me Made clothes? xx
Love all of them! I bought the Carrie cardigan because of you and have already made one for myself and three for my sisters! I am definitely going to try the Bertha and Fjord! Thanks! By the way you can definitely get away with the Rust colored cardigan because of the black and it looked great with the black top you were wearing! Xoxo I’ve also made the Cocoon cardigan by Jalie, which I love - The next time I’m going to widen the sleeves, because it comes with a more fitted sleeve but it’s a really nice pattern with a lot of options.
I would add in seam pockets rather than patch on the blackwood
If you like style of Carrie cardigan I would recommend checking self drafted pattern by Thoughtful Creativity- her Cocoon cardi is similar style and soo easy to draft. I made it for last 2 years for gifts for friends and family and everyone loved it.
Great video. Was great to see the variety of looks. Would love the top five jumper patterns video. BTW, I was expecting to see the Sinclair Harper cardigan (similar to Helen’s closet). Forget Me Not patterns also just released a new cardigan pattern called Kirsi.
In the US we call them cardigans too, or a cardigan sweater as opposed to a pull over sweater that you probably call jumpers.
I think I noticed that your cabled sweaters were lined and I wanted to know if they were also Blackwood sweaters. Also did you have to size up to line it?
Did you use a special ri knit for the bands?
Hi! What size is your marlo cardigan? ❤❤❤
🇨🇦😃
Any top in the US that is split down the middle with or without buttons is called a cardigan
You can get away with the rust colored cardigan anytime!
Cardigans are called 'cardigans' in the entire English-speaking world. 'Sweater' is the American word for 'jumper'.
Thank you for clarifying 😊 x
