Farm Doodle Cowl (Standard)

To purchase on Ravelry, see Farm Doodle Cowl.

THE FARM DOODLE EXPANSION  is inspired by the charm of rural life, homesteads, and working farms. It is intended to either augment the options for motifs within the Doodle style patterns, for you to work into an existing pattern, or to design your own.

24 Doodle Motifs included are sheep, cows, horses, pigs, chickens (so many chickens!), eggs, barns, fences, tractors, plants, potatoes, corn, orchard trees, pears, apples, apple bushels, and more!

This listing is for a DIGITAL DOWNLOAD for the FULL PATTERN. To view additional patterns, please see Farm 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, beginning with a ribbed bottom edge, followed by stranded colorwork, and finishing in ribbing along the top edge.
