THE BASE DOODLE BEANIE aka: The Hat That Plays Well With Others
Looking for the perfect everyday hat—the one you grab when you’re running out the door, pretending your life is together? This is it. The Base Doodle Beanie is simple, cozy, and ridiculously customizable. Add a little sass at the brim, go wild with all-over colorwork, or keep it classic and let the yarn do the talking. It’s your hat, your rules, darling.
Doodles by Pacific Knit Co. are basically the “choose your own adventure” of knitting patterns. They’re modern, modular, and wildly fun—letting you mix, match, experiment, and generally behave like the fiber artist genius you truly are. Every motif works with every pattern shape, which means you get infinite customization without needing to do any math (you’re welcome).
The Base Doodle Patterns are your gateway into the whole Doodle universe. Pick your base, grab charts from any Doodle Collection, toss in your favorite yarns, and boom—you’re off on your creative joyride.
The hat itself? Easy peasy.
You’ll start with a simple ribbed brim, move into an optional (but highly encouraged) burst of colorwork fun, then finish with tidy spiral crown decreases that make you feel like you actually know what you’re doing.
Fast, fun, endlessly tweakable.
A beanie that lets you doodle your little heart out—on purpose.
