Juoseppi is a casual, oversized and modern unisex knit with centuries-old symbolism. The colourwork sweater is inspired by a centuries old Karelian craft tradition, embroidery patterns and folk dresses. The name comes from Maiju Räsänen’s great-great-uncle. Juoseppi is knitted seamlessly top down. The neckline is shaped with short rows and the sleeves are loose and baggy.
