MAARVEJ SWEATER
MAARVEJ SWEATER
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 to keep you entertained. The signature feature of Mårvej Sweater are the sleeve stripes, connecting the colourwork of yoke and cuffs.
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.

Fit
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). You can choose from two different 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 in the city.
Techniques
The sweater is worked top down, using, twisted rib, colourwork and crochet slip stitch.
