Fall is my favorite season! The overcast skies, sweater weather, and fall leaves. Walking through the pumpkin patch holding a hot cup of coffee. Decorating your home with bats, skeletons, and (best of all) ghosts! Everything about this time of year is magical, and this cowl is intended to evoke the best autumn memories as you knit!

The Autumn Doodle is a series of mix-and-match mini colorwork charts for an infinity cowl.

This pattern includes:

• 5 pages fall and Halloween colorwork motifs
• Instructions for twisted or non-twisted infinity
• Single-sided pattern “hack”
• Instructions for alternate yarn weights

The infinity cowl is knit using approximately 3 skeins DK weight yarn; the sample uses a mix of 5 colors. This is pattern also lends itself to using mini skein kits or mixing coordinating colors of leftovers, stash, or yarn scraps!

The pattern is knit in the round using circular needles. A provisional cast on and Kitchener stitch create a seamless finish.
