THE DESERT DOODLE INFINITY COWL is inspired by deserts of the American Southwest, capturing the rugged beauty and vibrant resilience of the unique flora and fauna of the region.

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. Or you can substitute ANY other Doodle charts!

This pattern is worked in the round as a tube, from side to side. Beginning with a provisional cast on, the design-your-own stranded colorwork is then knit to desired finished circumference. Then the two ends are grafted for a seamless infinity cowl, with or without a twist.
