The 2026 Flock Doodle was inspired by the Flock Fiber Festival logo this year - a pretty plaid! Work this up as a one-chart wonder that’s perfect for any cozy knitting project!

This 2026 Flock Doodle includes a single chart for a repeating plaid pattern.

Check out #PKCFlockDoodle for more inspiration!

For additional pattern formats, please see Flock 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.
