Whether your autumn vibes lean towards cider and leaf-peeping or towards goblins and ghouls, the Autumn Doodle Hat will offer you endless options for the perfect hat for you, your family, and your friends!
Jamie Lomax has create a whole world of “doodle” patterns—mix-and match charted designs on many different themes. The Autumn Doodle hat pattern allows you to pick which designs you like to create a truly one-of-a-kind hat. These patterns can also be a great way to learn how to read a colorwork chart!
Perfect for using yarn you may already have in your stash, or yarn leftover from other projects. But, if you’re searching for something new, we have so many wonderful DK-weight yarns in store right now! If you’re looking for a washable option, Rosários 4 Merino 4 Us is often and offers an extensive palette of colors; if you’re looking for non-superwash options, Laxton’s DK or Kelbourne Woolens Scout offer great texture and “stickiness” for colorwork! The vivid and moody shades of Di Gilpin Lalland DK–combined with the softness of Lalland’s 100% lambswool–would be a great fit for this pattern.
