The story & symbolism
Kihnu is an island in Estonia and they are known for weaving a lot of beautiful patterns. This is one of their most notable ones and women would stay up together late to weave, known as 'ülalistmine'. The island of Kihnu and its cultural heritage is ran by women, as men would be out on the sea - so the women would be in judge of the household, organising games, dances, music, art etc.
On the island there are also Rune songs, known as runolaul - which are the main way that Kalevala was written down. So this design is to spread knowledge of this wonderful place and to show my appreciation.

KIHNU PATTERN
This is the Kihnu pattern, I've also made it so that it appears knitted - the actual hoodie is made of cotton with the design painted on top of it. But since the island is known for their intricate knitting, then I've also made the design represent that.
The story & symbolism
The word Erilaz / Erilar appears again and again in inscriptions. It usually comes along with "I, Erilaz, have carved these runes…" so that leads us to believe that it had something to do with proficency in writing the runes or carving them. Perhaps it also carried some magical connotations, as someone who could write and read would be pretty magical during those times, as runes were used for spells and such. How I've thought about it, is if you imagine writing runes to something like being able to code nowadays - writing a bunch of words and having a machine do something is pretty magical imo.
So this design is for those who also are familiar with this title and would like a more subtle way of hinting at their knowledge, this is part of my smart-casual collection so it is not as screamingly RAA I R VIKING but if you wear this out and others who know about this will understand the refence and that could be a great conversation starter!

ERILAZ
The title Erilaz is written in elder futhark again and again on the design, you can think of it as a visual chant of this magical profession, title or name

How to measure
Items are measured by being laid flat on the ground, not by circumference. If you have any items that fit you well, lay them on the ground and measure them to get the best fit
Here's a small video I made for the sweatshirt, pants, hoodies - the same applies for all the other apparel items as well
