I'm attaching a picture of a blackwork sampler band that I work on from time to time. The reason for the sampler is to see the size of the pattern and how to adjust it to fit when I'm working on cuffs and collars or other blackwork related accessories.
There are 3 pictured here on a 32 count oatmeal linen. They were stitched with cotton floss but for garb, I would probably use silk or linen thread. For most of these patterns, I have used http://www.blackworkarchives.com/ which is a website by Paula Katherine Marmor. She has done an excellent job putting together some easy to follow patterns that can be adapted for your projects.
