About

UPA preserves the geometry of Ukrainian embroidery ornaments: square and triangular fills, four cell edges, centre lines and diagonals. Every element carries its own colour.

Source

Helen Hough. Ukrainian Folk Embroidery Patterns. James G Collins & Associates, 2025. Derived from folk patterns identified and drawn by Klymentij [Klemens] B. Habdank-Rohozynskyj.

Names, regions and dates of individual folk motifs are not assigned without evidence. PDF page numbers refer to file pages, not printed book pagination.

From source to repeat

Charts from the digital edition are split into cells, then fills and lines. Minimal repeats are verified by reconstructing the entire excerpt. Ambiguous marks retain their source pixels.

Each pattern has a persistent catalog number independent of its position in the source. The PDF page remains a source reference; the number is not a historical motif name.
