About Us
About Our Patterns: Clear, Modern, Knitter-Friendly
At Marle & Row, we believe that knitting patterns should be a pleasure to follow, not a puzzle to decode. That’s why we take a deliberate, modern approach to how we write and format our patterns.
No Unnecessary Abbreviations
We write most instructions in full, avoiding legacy abbreviations wherever clarity matters. In a time when most knitters use tablets, phones, or printed PDFs, there’s no reason to flip between pages trying to remember what "Patt2tog tbl" means. Our patterns are designed to read naturally—almost like a conversation with a fellow knitter.
Full Sentences Where It Counts
We explain shaping, finishing, and construction details in plain English. That doesn’t mean we talk down to you—just that we respect your time. You won’t find cryptic shorthand or squeezed-in symbols designed to save ink from a bygone era. Our aim is to make complex techniques feel accessible, not intimidating.
Designed for Real-World Knitters
Whether you’re knitting at your kitchen table, on the train, or late at night with a cup of tea, we want your pattern experience to be fluid and frustration-free. Our structure and layout are consistent throughout every pattern. Font sizes are readable. Sections are clearly marked. There’s no jumping around.
Traditional Expertise, Modern Values
We honour the detail and rigour of traditional knitting, but we pair it with modern formatting, clean styling, and a focus on accessibility. If you're tired of decoding cryptic pattern books, we think you’ll find our approach refreshing. Your creativity deserves clarity.
Created using nostalgic memory and editorial styling, each pattern is offered as an instantly downloadable PDF at a competitive price. The result: a clean, thoughtful, visually rich experience — at a fraction of the price.
Marle & Row is British in spirit, editorial in tone, and enduring by design.
