Part of a collection of 10 Classic colourwork sweaters designed by Koigu co-founder, Maie Landra, in the 80s and 90s. Featuring traditional Estonian knitwear motifs in bottom-up, seamed charted sweater patterns.

 In Estonian knitting, the "Tollakiri" and "Ohvrikirstukiri" motifs, seen on socks
 and mittens, are ancient symbols of protection and spirituality. These
 designs are deeply rooted in pre-Christian beliefs and have been passed
 down through generations. A crossed star or multi-pointed shape, found
 throughout Estonia (notably in Viljandi, Seto, and Saaremaa), symbolizes
 ancestral connection, blessings, and remembrance. In southern Estonia
 (Mulgi, Võro), a stylized eight-pointed star or a square-cross within a grid is
 common on dowry items, representing offerings made to gods and spirits.
