Basic Doodle Hat
THE BASIC DOODLE HAT This pattern is worked in the round, from bottom up. Beginning with a flexible brim option, the stranded colorwork is then knit to desired finished height. Lastly, the crown decreases evenly for a smooth finish.
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. This “basic doodle” uses simple, everyday motifs that can go with anything for the perfect cowl! Or you can substitute ANY other Doodle charts!
The Basic Doodle includes 26 charts.
