ELUPUU
Estonian for tree of life
Elupuu is a quick to knit fitted beanie knitted in the round featuring a braided cast-on and a geometric woven inlay motif.
The modern geometric motif is a reimagined interpretation of traditional Estonian symbols for the tree of life where this pattern gets its name from. The modern tree of life motif appears to be lovingly embroidered, while it was in fact created during the knitting process using a unique Estonian knitting technique called Roosimine from south west Estonia. It is the perfect introduction project to this simply and unique technique.
