A boxy cut jacket with an interesting, asymmetric shape that drapes beautifully.
Left open, with folded back lapels, this easy cardigan has something of the biker jacket about it. Alternatively, you can close the jacket and use a pin for a more formal look.
And, like many of our contemporary knitwear designs, this piece can look quite different depending on who is wearing it – and how it is styled. The asymmetric hem line makes the Marlet jacket a perfect layer to throw over a dress.
Pattern & Colour
The Marlet pattern is based on an animal print. Often people wonder whether it's a Shetland seal...actually it's the markings on an Indian elephant's ear!
Softer colour combinations give a subtle effect, while our more zingy colourways play with colour-popping contrast.
We make very small editions of the Marlet jacket colourways. Once a colour is sold out it is unlikely to be repeated.
Sizing & fit
One size
- A (underarm to underarm): 67cm
- B (back length): 61cm

All knitwear is individually made, so measurements given are approximate.
Materials
This jacket is knitted in double-faced jacquard, which gives striking reversed-out lapels when these are folded back.
- 100% extra-fine merino wool (Oeko-Tex Standard 100)
- Pin for illustration only
Manufacture
We are committed to sustaining and being part of UK knitwear manufacturing – and Shetland’s place in this.
- We design Nielanell knitwear in our Hoswick studio, with initial concepts carefully translated into the flat panels needed to make up each piece.
- Currently, for this garment, we are working with specialist knitters in Mainland UK to make these panels.
- The garment itself is made in Shetland. Our in-house team in Hoswick transforms the flat panels into a wearable piece of knitwear using linking (a skilled knitting process) and hand-finishing.
- Our knitwear is made in very small batches, slowly. Each piece of Nielanell knitwear can take approximately 12-16 weeks (often longer) from weighing out the yarn needed in our studio to the garment being ready to wear.

Marlet design inspiration
Many visitors to my studio shop in Shetland look at our Marlet knitwear and see lichen. Others get a little bit closer to the source material for the design, seeing the markings of an animal—seals. But nobody has guessed that the Marlet textile design originally came from the ear of an Indian elephant!
I don’t mind what you see in this pattern—in fact, isn’t that an interesting thing in its own right?
Marlet does some interesting things with different colour combinations and varying contrast (subtle or eye-popping!), and the double-faced jacquard knit drapes beautifully.
