This is the iconic Marius sweater as we know it – but with a bit more freedom of movement and an even better fit. A timeless pattern that has been close to the hearts of Norwegian knitters since 1953, and still feels just as relevant today. Here you get a high-quality sweater in 100% wool, knitted in Peer Gynt and Peer Gynt Tweed. You can choose whether to knit it top-down or bottom-up – both options are included in the pattern. A sweater that only gets better with time – and maybe one day becomes a cherished heirloom.

Polar is the kind of sweater that just feels right on chilly days. It’s warm, lightweight, and easy to knit. The pattern is only on the yoke, so the rest moves along at a nice, steady pace – perfect if you want something quick to knit and classic in style. You can knit it top-down or bottom-up, whichever you prefer. It’s made with Fritidsgarn – 100% Norwegian wool – which gives you a light and cozy garment. This is a sweater you’ll reach for all winter long, year after year.

Kleiva is a beautiful sweater with a pattern that really invites creativity. You can play with colors and find combinations that feel just right for you. The sweater is knitted top-down, so you can try it on as you go and make adjustments until it’s exactly how you want it. Choose Mini Alpakka for an ultra-soft, insulating version that’s warm without being heavy, or Tynn Peer Gynt for a more classic wool sweater with defined structure. No matter which yarn you choose, you’ll get a breathable, warm garment that keeps its shape over time – and is sure to earn you plenty of compliments.

Imagine the Marius sweater – but in an oversized and extra fluffy version – that’s the Fun Chunky Marius. A soft and playful twist on the classic design, featuring a pattern without shaping and a simple construction. It’s knitted with two strands of Ballerina Chunky Mohair, giving it that signature mohair look we love – airy, fuzzy, and wonderfully luxurious. This sweater is perfect if you’re looking for a statement piece that’s both warm and eye-catching. It’s every bit as cozy as it looks – and just as timeless as the original it’s inspired by.

The Islender is a faithful classic. This version is knitted top-down with set-in sleeves, using Sisu – a blend of wool and nylon that offers both warmth and extra durability. The pattern stands out beautifully in this yarn with its clear structure, ensuring the sweater stays just as relevant over the years. A true classic that has long been a favorite among traditional Norwegian sweaters – and one that remains just as beautiful, generation after generation.

Anna is a simple and elegant sweater with a classic construction and timeless look. It’s knitted from the bottom up in Peer Gynt – 100% Norwegian wool – which gives you a lightweight, durable garment made to last. This is the kind of sweater you can wear with anything, again and again, and that only gets better with use. Perfect for everyday wear – but stylish enough to dress up. A true wardrobe favorite.
