Mårvej Sweater is a cosy unisex design with a relaxed, regular fit and an abundance of thoughtful details. It features a shaped neckband and a yoke that combines twisted ribbing with striking colourwork. A variety of techniques are used throughout the sweater, making the knitting process engaging from start to finish. Its signature element are the sleeve stripes, which visually connect the colourwork sections of the yoke and the cuffs.
The minimalist aesthetic is inspired by the classic Danish musselmalet tableware. The marled blue lines echo the hand-painted character of the decor, while the ribbed yoke is reminiscent of the rim of a plate.
This design is a tribute to my childhood holidays spent in a summerhouse on Mårvej in Ertebølle –
a place that sparked my enduring love for Danish design and lifestyle.
