DESTINATION DOODLES enable you to design & knit your favorite location!

THE ALASKA DOODLE was inspired by the breathtaking natural beauty of the state of Alaska. Whether it’s the rugged mountain ranges, icy oceans, or the iconic wildlife that you love about Alaska, this collection is perfect for any cozy project for beautiful, endless winters. 

The 13 Alaska Charts include a blue whale, whale tail, iceberg, snow-capped mountain, snowflakes, moose, bald eagle, salmon, canoe, fishing pole, hydroplane, dog sled, and Alaskan malamute.

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 worked in the round, beginning with a ribbed bottom edge, followed by stranded colorwork, and finishing in ribbing along the top edge.
