Base Doodle Beanie 2 Printed Pattern by Pacific Knit Co.
Base Doodle Beanie 2 by Pacific Knit Co. is a versatile everyday hat pattern designed to be customised again and again with your favourite Doodle motifs.
This is a printed brochure of the Base Doodle Beanie 2 pattern only. Colourwork charts are not included and can be added separately using any compatible Pacific Knit Co. Doodle Deck.
Part of the Pacific Knit Co. Doodle system, this simple base pattern gives you the framework to create a hat entirely your own. Choose your favourite colourwork charts, mix different themes or keep things simple for an easy everyday knit.
The beanie is worked in the round from the bottom up, beginning with a folded ribbed brim. This is followed by an optional section of stranded colourwork before finishing with straightforward crown decreases.
Because Pacific Knit Co. Doodle motifs are designed to work across the Doodle pattern range, you can change the charts and colours each time you knit it for almost endless combinations.
