This Doodle Chart was originally shared on Instagram in January of 2025. It was designed to reflect the state of affairs at that time, need we say more?

We have included instructions below to knit this chart into a cup cozy, but it would work just as well on any of our Base Doodle Patterns, or any other pattern you have in your library that is worked over a multiple of 24 stitches. 

Since this chart is free, my ask is to use your voice (and your wallet) to support charities and local organizations. You can also call or contact your representatives and tell them how you feel. You can search for their contact information HERE.
