THE 2025 CAKE DOODLE was designed as the show card for CAKEpalooza 2025.

The 2025 Cake Doodle Motif includes a single chart for a 2-tiered cake.

This is a Doodle Series Pattern, which means it includes micro charts intended to be used as mix-and-match colorwork motifs throughout the project. Use the charts in this pattern, or you can substitute ANY other Doodle charts!

This hat is knit starting with a folded ribbed brim, followed by a section of stranded colorwork, and finished with standard crown decreases.
