A practical guide to doodling with colorful knitted patterns. You'll choose your favorite patterns from 200 different designs, then mix and match them to create unique projects.

You can combine them as you wish, repeat your favorite designs, change colors and have fun doodling with the wool. All the graphics work together to offer endless options to create your own combinations, play with colors, add solid lines between the graphic lines etc.

You'll find instructions on how to use the charts on all of the patterns – they all have the same stitch count and work on each of the 9 projects which include a range of accessories such as toques, scarves, hats and mittens.

Doodle knitting is all about having fun with pattern - choose your favorite patterns and create your own combinations. All 9 patterns have specific suggestions for pattern combinations, but author Jamie Lomax explains how to modify all the projects to create your own versions.

The patterns only combine two colours on each row, so it is suitable for beginners to jacquard knitting, but the large selection of patterns and designs means that more experienced knitters will find plenty to inspire them.

The 200 designs are presented seasonally and there is a wide range of patterns including flowers, leaves and mushrooms to squirrels, sheep and other birds and animals. In addition to the patterns, there are abstract designs that can be interspersed to break up the patterns and create interest so you can have endless doodling fun.
