The first Marius sweater was designed in 1953 by Unn Søiland. Today, more than 60 years later, it is known as the best-selling and most-knitted pattern in Norway.
The Marius® sweater is considered a Norwegian national sweater, a Norwegian icon that says something about Norwegians' enthusiasm for and relationship with outdoor excursions in the forests and fields, in the free Norwegian nature.
The designer Unn Søiland made history by designing new patterns and using wool with strong colors, which was unusual at the time. This made "Norwegian sweaters" a big fashion, also abroad, and "Norwegian sweaters" became an internationally popular term.
Unn Søiland Dale received the King's Medal of Merit in gold for her lifelong pioneering work in developing Norwegian knitting traditions and designs for hand-knitting and wool, and for making Norwegian wool textiles known internationally.
