THE GEOMETRIC DOODLES are inspired by simple, timeless shapes that you’ll want to knit again and again. From windowpane check to wavy lines, circles and squares, these are the perfect charts for one-chart-wonder projects and beginner-friendly colorwork knitting!

The 51 Geometric Core Charts include squares, grid, rectangles, dots, circles, triangles, window pane, checkers, squiggles, and more!

The Geometric Doodle Standard Cowl download includes full instructions to knit the cowl + two pre-assembled full project charts so you can match our samples (in addition to the 51 individual charts which you can use to mix-and-match any way you like!)

This listing is for a DIGITAL DOWNLOAD for a FULL PATTERN. To view additional options, please see Geometric 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.
