THE BASIC DOODLE was inspired by the simple joy of minimalist, geometric knitting motifs. Perfect to add to other sets, or striking on their own to create a beautiful, wear-year-round knit!
The 26 featured Basic Doodle Charts include various non-thematic, geometric charts that are great for filler motifs paired with other charts, or for knitting up a simple, timeless colorwork project.

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.
