For the month of May 2022 - 100% of net proceeds will be donated to World Central Kitchen. Update: June 2022 - All proceeds from this pattern sale will be donated for the remainder of 2022.

35 copies of this pattern were sold in May 2022. Rather than the net sales being donated (around $146.00) I donated the gross sale amount - or $175.00. Thank you to all who have purchased! If you would also like to donate this PayPal donation link will not charge any fees to World Central Kitchen.

31 Dec 2022 Update
An additional 5 copies of the pattern were sold between June - December 2022, with the net sale of $20.83. I have again donated the gross sale amount ($25) to World Central Kitchen.

Boritesia Poborete - Fight on and You Will Prevail. - Taras Shevchenko (1814-1861)

This striped, toe-up gusset and heel flap sock is knit in colors of the Ukrainian flag, with the Ukrainian Coat of Arms at the toe and sunflower border ringing the top of the sock. Proudly wear these socks in solidarity with the people of Ukraine.

These socks are worked in the round, from the toe to the cuff. The pattern includes a written description of the colorwork as well as charts. The stranded colorwork sections are knit with a larger needle than the toe, striped sections, heel and cuff, allowing for more stretch. Tips and tricks are included on how to prevent the colorwork from being too tight and how to avoid ‘jogs’ in the stripe section.

The sock features a well-fitting gusset and slip-stitch heel flap that does not require picking up of stitches.
