A Mari Pattern: It Fits and It Flatters



Mari Dembrow began Mari Sweaters 30 years ago, in 1977, in Eugene Oregon. The business sold hand knitted sweaters to a local clientele. Over the years, the business grew. Hand operated Italian knitting looms were purchased, and sales expanded. Eventually, sweaters were sold through a large national catalogue, which used Mari Sweaters as an emblem of their commitment to the highest quality, home based, designer products. The specialty of the business became special orders – designing patterns for individuals who did not fit into the standard sizes. Over the years, hundreds of special order patterns were filed away.

In 1986, Mari published a knitting/crochet book on pattern design: "Better Sweaters: The Step By Step Guide to Drafting Your Own Patterns".

In 2002, the pattern business was launched, offering the same design styling for handknits that made the loomed sweater business a success. The overarching philosophy of the designs has been and remains a focus on classically styled, tailored knitwear. Its hallmarks are good structure and good fit, with firmly knitted stitches (using smaller than usual needles) to ensure a longer lasting product.

The sizeable pattern collection satisfies the needs of both beginning and experienced knitters. A Mari Sweater fits and it flatters.
