NEW: Limited Edition & Event Doodles are available as Full Patterns only, but will be priced to match the typical Charts-Only option available for other Collections.

THE 2026 WOOL & HOLLY DOODLE was inspired by the logo for the inaugural Wool & Holly Winter Market! This little holly leaf & berry is perfect for a pop of color on any winter knit!

The 2026 Wool & Holly Doodle Motif includes a single chart for a sprig of holly.

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 pattern is knit in the round. After the ribbing, you’ll knit a series of colorwork motifs, before ending with a spiral crown decrease.
