The Teddies for Ukraine project is particular to Scotland, where people are knitting teddy bears in blue and yellow clothes to give to children from Ukraine who end up in Scotland. The Ukrainian Catholic Church in Scotland is collecting the bears to be distributed to kids in the country as a bit of comfort and a welcome to their new home.
I’m sure the idea could be replicated in other countries if you live somewhere that refugees are going, or you could use the pattern and sell the finished bears to raise money to donate to a refugee-related cause.
The Facebook group Teddies for Ukraine has the pattern you can use whether you want to contribute to the project in Scotland or elsewhere.
