THE OCEAN DOODLE is inspired by the beaches in the PNW, with hearty sea creatures, corals and seaweed (and maybe some mermaids!)

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.
