Veselka means “rainbow” in Ukrainian. It symbolizes the vibrant spectrum of colors often seen after a storm, representing hope, joy, and the beauty of diversity. For the Veselka socks pattern, the name reflects the playful, colorful nature of the design, perfect for using up leftover yarn to create a cheerful and dynamic look. These socks capture the spirit of a rainbow, blending various hues into a harmonious, eye-catching pattern.
