Mårvej Sweater

*This pattern has been reworked and re-released Dec 2025.* . **ABOUT** 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. **Skill level** Intermediate **Languages** English | German | Danish **Sizes** 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 Chest 94 | 100 | 112 | 118 | 128 | 143 | 152 cm 37 | 39 | 44 | 46.5 | 50.5 | 56 | 60 ″ Back length 61 | 64 | 65 | 68 | 69 | 70 | 71 cm 24 | 25 | 25.5 | 26.5 | 27 | 27.5 | 28 ″ Sleeve length 45 | 46 | 47 | 48 | 49 | 50 | 51 cm 17.5 | 18 | 18.5 | 18.8 | 19.2 | 19.5 | 20 ″ Yoke depth 25 | 27 | 27 | 29 | 29 | 31 | 31 cm 9.5 | 10.5 | 10.5 | 11.5 | 11.5 | 12 | 12 “ **Needles** Circular needles in suitable lengths: 4,5 | 5 | 5,5 | 6,0 mm / US 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 These 4 needle sizes will be referred to as XS, S, M and L throughout the pattern. dpns in sizes L and S, crochet hook in size 6,0 mm / US 10 **Gauge** 13 sts x 20-21 r = 10 cm / 4″ on needle size L in stockinette stitch after washing and blocking. **Yarn** You can choose from two different versions: The STURDY one with a crisp definition and a sportive appeal for a walk by the stormy sea – or the SOFT lightweight version with a fluffy and more elegant look for a smooth day in the city. *sturdy version* Jensen Yarn by Isager, held double MC: 955 – 2.185 m / 1,045 – 2,390 yds CC: 75 – 125 m / 82 – 137 yds (times 2) *soft version* A: Snefnug and B: Midnatssol by CaMaRose, held together MC: A: 660 – 1.100m / 722 – 1,203 yds B: 665 – 1.110 m / 728 – 1,214 CC: A: 55 – 105 m / 60 – 115 yds B: 55 – 110 m / 60 – 120 yds **Fit** Mårvej Sweater has a regular, relaxed fit with about 8-15 cm / 3.1-6″ of positive ease The length of body and sleeves can be adjusted individually (keep in mind that the amount of yarn will vary). **Techniques** The sweater is worked top down, using twisted rib, colourwork and crochet chain stitches.
