When Koigu Wool Designs first began, Maie and Taiu Landra
sold sweaters handknit out of our own sheep’s wool at local
markets. We are bringing back 10 of these 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.

AUTUMN HARVEST SWEATER
Inspired by a Mitten pattern from the Halliste region of Estonia which is renowned for its bold and intricate folk patterns. Halliste mittens often feature symmetrical, high-contrast motifs using red, black, and white, with diamonds, stars, and trees of life. This sweater echoes those folkloric designs in an allover colorwork motif
