The name Kiri, meaning “pattern” in Estonian, reflects the simple pattern used to embellish this raglan sweater. It came from a hand-drawn chart on a sheet of paper stuck loosely between the pages of Aleks’ grandmother Hilja’s sketchbooks. It was most likely drawn as a knit and purl textured stitch pattern that has now been given new life with Roosimine Estonian Inlay. Kiri is knitted seamlessly from the top down, with lines of Roosimine worked along the raglan shaping and on each side of the body.
