The Marius sweater pattern is one of the best modern classics for ski wear. It's named for Stein Eriksen's handsome (but less athletic) brother Marius Eriksen. This article gives a good overview of the controversy surrounding the origin of and rights to the design. It's only in Norwegian, but be sure to to scroll down through the article anyway to get other kitchy photos and especially the label shots. Clearly I'm going to have to make one of these for E for next winter.The image is from the "ski comedy" film Troll i Ord fom 1954.
