Every little bit counts.

Our designer for today is Ludmyla Babinsteva.

Photos by author.

She lives in Lviv, Ukraine and has twins, Tonya and Vlad. As you know, they are under siege in Ukraine. Or maybe they are refugees in Poland, missing husband, father, and friends. Wondering if they will ever see their country again.

You can give them a little relief by buying this hat pattern that Ludmyla designed. Don’t worry about knitting it. Just send her the price of the pattern through her Ravelry digital download.

Every day I will highlight one of the Ukrainian knitting or crocheting designers for us to buy their patterns. I post their patterns and bio to assure us they are not only Ukrainian but also live in the country.

Making the garments doesn’t matter; paying for them and sending money directly to these people does. Even small amounts matter.

Here are the instructions

.If you don’t know a site with Ukrainian digital content, go to Ravelry.com or Etsy.com. Select a username and password.

On Ravelry, click the link to “patterns by Ukrainian designers) and it will open up a search of 65 pages, at last count, of needlework from Ukraine. Sweaters for adults and children, hats, scarves, toys, doilies. Click on any one of them-if you don’t knit or crochet, it doesn’t matter because you won’t (or don’t have to) use the pattern.

Scroll down to “buy it now,” make sure it isn’t free — unless you want to make the item (free won’t help the designer), and Ravelry will take you to the page for your payment information.

Since the idea is to give the designer your money, you don’t have to download the pattern, buy yarn or whatnot.

Buy as many patterns as you can manage. They cost a few dollars, none more than ten. If you can afford more than one, spread the wealth around and buy from page one, page fifteen, or page fifty. Or, if you feel like being a big spender, buy one of each. There’s also a box to leave a message for the designer.

Or, go to Etsy.com, sign up if you’re not a member and put Ukraine in the search box.

Look for a seller of digital content because obviously nobody’s sending goods out of the country. This morning I saw that KiddieWiddie the Ukrainian owner of an Etsy store, previously a seller of handmade goods, had posted that her customers asked how they could help. So she posted a digital picture for download of the word Ukraine in blue and yellow for various denominations up to $50 USD. Other Etsy stores had similar offerings.

This money goes directly to the owners of these accounts.

One such digital purchase may not seem like much. What’s three dollars or ten in the face of this catastrophe. But if we spread the word to buy a Ravelry or Etsy pattern for Ukraine, they can add up. A thousand people buying a pattern for three bucks makes a statement. It might mean dinner for someone. Or just encouragement to go on, that strangers in the rest of the world are with them.
