Logo-inspired knitwork – Knit your own UEF sweater!

Just over a year ago, the University of Eastern Finland got its very own knitting pattern for woollen socks, inspiring knitting enthusiasts across the country to knit socks with the UEF logo on them. Now, UEF has served as inspiration for knitting patterns for sweaters and mittens.

At first, I didn’t tell the test knitters that the pattern was for a university logo; instead, I wanted them to pick the pattern precisely because it would seem suitable and nice for the sweater.
