The Rhinebeck Doodle Sock download includes instructions to knit the socks either top-down OR toe-up, and comes with the three pre-assembled Doodle Charts we used to make the samples (in addition to the 24 individual charts which you can use to mix-and-match any way you like!)

THE RHINEBECK DOODLE is inspired by the biggest annual gathering of yarn-y people at the NY Sheep & Wool Festival in Rhinebeck, NY! Showcasing all your favorite knit items, fiber animals, and autumn sights, this is a must-have for all fiber folks!

The 24 Rhinebeck Charts include sheep, alpacas, rabbits, fall leaves, apples, yarn skeins, sweaters, socks, hats, cowls, scarves, and more!

Check out #PKCRhinebeckDoodle for more inspiration!

For additional pattern formats, please see Rhinebeck 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!
