THE PORTLAND DOODLE INFINITY COWL This pattern is worked in the round as a tube, from side to side. Beginning with a provisional cast on, the design-your-own stranded colorwork is then knit to desired finished circumference. Then the two ends are grafted together for a seamless infinity cowl, with or without a twist.

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 “Porltand doodle” is inspired by the weird and wonderful city of Portland, OR! Or you can substitute ANY other Doodle charts!

24 Doodle Motifs included are roses, bikes, donuts, bridges, cityscapes, hipster glasses, mustaches, hiking boots, plaid shirts, parkas, Multnomah Falls, and more!
