Alternative Yarns

When substituting Makr Denim Marle, choose a yarn that can achieve the pattern tension of 22 sts and 30 rows to 10cm over stocking st, using 4.00mm needles.

Suitable alternatives may include soft yarns of a similar weight and construction with enough elasticity for the twisted rib, 2 x 2 rib and neckline. For a similar appearance to the original, choose a marled or softly heathered yarn suitable for children’s garments.

Customisation Ideas

• Work the jumper in a solid colour for a simple everyday finish.
• Choose a marled or tonal yarn to recreate the appearance of the original Denim Marle.
• Use a contrasting colour for the cuffs, hem or neckband to highlight the ribbed details.
• Coordinate the jumper with P083 Denim Marle Baby Shorties for a matching set.
• Adjust the body or sleeve length where indicated in the pattern for a customised fit.

Care Instructions

Follow the care instructions provided on the yarn label used for the project. Wash gently using a method suitable for the selected fibre and reshape while damp.

Dry flat where recommended to help maintain the raglan shaping and ribbed sections. Store folded rather than hanging to avoid stretching the knitted fabric, and check seams regularly to ensure they remain secure.
