Holiday 1 Doodle (Hat)

**Get both the Holiday Doodle Hat and Cowl set for 20% off when you place both in your cart, no code needed!** This festive design is inspired by bands of holiday motifs in traditional Christmas sweaters, Starbucks holiday cups, and merry wrapping paper. The intent is to let the knitter choose their own adventure by combining both colors and motifs in ways unique to you! My goal with this pattern is to bring a little more cheer into this world. The **Holiday Doodle** is a series of stranded colorwork motifs. Knit using several holiday colors of **DK weight** yarn, this pattern is a festive way to use up leftovers, stash, or scraps! The **Holiday Doodle Hat** is knit in the round using circular needles. It includes a wide 1x1 ribbed brim, with a slouchy fit (and optional pom pom). **This pattern includes** * 5 pages of holiday inspired colorwork motifs * 4 sizes from kids to adult * 4 brim options **Sizes Available** Toddler, Child (Adult S/M, Adult L/XL) **Finished Measurements** 8, 9 (10, 11) in [20, 22 (25, 28) cm] height 12, 16 (20, 24)in [30, 40 (50, 60)mm] circumference **Suggested Yarns** Green Letter Day – Naughty or Nice Collection (DK 4 ply) Colors: Library Scene, Fiction, Red Riding Hood, White Oleander 100% Superwash Merino Wool 115 g / 3.5 oz. 250 yds/228 m **Approximate Yardage Required** 200-320 yards / 180-292 m in varied colors **Suggested Needles** Ribbing: US 4/3.5mm Main Fabric: US 5/3.75mm 16 or 24in (20 or 40cm) circular needles DPNs or Magic loop for crown decrease **Notions** Stitch markers, scissors, tapestry needle **Gauge** 24 sts x 28 rows = 4in (10cm) in colorwork **Techniques Required** Ribbing, stranded colorwork in the round, reading colorwork charts, decreasing crown using DPNs or magic loop Please tag your progress using #holidaydoodlehat.
