Finding a Marilyn cardigan?

4 replies

Every season I seem to come up with something I want that is impossible to source.

This year I'm desperate for a Marilyn-style cardigan. I don't mind what colour, I just want a thick, warm, belted cardigan for winter.

Has anyone seen anything like this? Lot 51.

Search for Cowichan sweaters/cardigans in places like Etsy. They also go by Starsky (and hutch) sweaters but I'm sure some will pop up if you add Marylin Monroe into the search. Also look at menswear, there's a couple on Mr Porter at the moment but they're in excess of £1500 but I'm sure cheaper versions exist. If you can knit there's also patterns available.

This one on eBay would be a nice one, I suspect, not sure what your budget is though.

Thank you for replying.

That EBay one you posted, but it looks very long and I'm a short arse. I want it to come to my hip or thereabouts.
As I say, the colour doesn't matter. In fact I think that cream would be a bad idea Smile the pattern doesn't matter to me either.
Also I'm after something really thick, maybe even fleece lined.
If it had a hood, that would be ok too.

Unfortunately, my knitting is hilariously bad. A couple of years ago I made a scarf, it looks like a year 6 knocked it up.

Etsy is a good idea, I'll take a look. thank you.

My budget is preferably £200 max, though I could do more if necessary.

@welldog just did a quick search, looks like the terms Marilyn, cardigan, Mexican hand knitted should yield a good few replica options.
