ABOUT
Mårvej Sweater is a cozy unisex sweater with a regular, relaxed fit and lots of refined details. Beginning with a shaped neckband and a yoke that includes twisted rib and a striking colourwork, the design includes a variety of techniques that keep you entertained. The signature feature of Mårvej Sweater are the sleeve stripes, connecting the colourwork of yoke and cuffs. The sweater is knitted top-down in rounds on large needles so it’s a real quick knit.

The minimalistic design is inspired by the typical decor and corrugated surface of the classic musselmalet dishes. The marled blue lines represent the hand-painted aspect of the decor while the ribbed yoke reminds of the rim of a plate.

This design is a tribute to my childhood holidays in a summerhouse in Mårvej in Ertebølle. A place that lit the spark for a love to Danish design and lifestyle.

You can choose from two versions: the sturdy one with a crisp definition and sportive appeal for a walk by the stormy sea – or the soft lightweight version with a fluffy and blurry look for a cozy day at home or in the city.

Mårvej Sweater has a regular, relaxed fit with about 8 cm / 3.1″ of positive ease and is slightly cropped. Individual length can be adjusted (keep in mind that the amount of yarn will change).
