Ocean Doodle Cowl (Single-Sided)
THE OCEAN DOODLE STANDARD COWL 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.
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. This “ocean doodle” is inspired by the beaches in the PNW, with hearty sea creatures, corals and seaweed (and maybe some mermaids!) Or you can substitute ANY other Doodle charts!
This listing is for a DIGITAL DOWNLOAD for the FULL PATTERN. To view the Charts Only Expansion, see Ocean Doodle Expansion.
The Ocean Doodle includes 25 charts including fish, octopus, crabs, lobsters, mermaids, seaweed, waves, sand castles, sunglasses, beach balls, sailboats, and lighthouses.
