Basic Doodle (Hat)

To purchase on Ravelry, see Basic Doodle (Hat). 

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 listing is for a DIGITAL DOWNLOAD for a FULL PATTERN. To view additional options, please see Basic Doodle Collection. 

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, 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.
