Pattern Details

Apple blossoms, clover, and tiny fruits run rings around slouchy this tam in four brim sizes (XS/S/M/L) to fit ages 4 years to adult. Worked entirely in the round with stranded colorwork motifs, the firm fabric of this piece holds its shape well, provides weight to anchor hair in the wind, and adds a cheerful, accent to any outfit, along with a good dose of cozy warmth. Substituting yarn and/or needles may result in an overall variation in size. Finished Size: 16(17, 19, 20) inches around brim and 10(10, 12, 12) inches in diameter stretches to fit heads up to 18(19, 22, 24) Gauge: 26 sts and 36 rows = 4 inches in stockinette on larger needle (unblocked) 32 sts and 36 rows = 4 inches in stranded color motifs on larger needle (washed and blocked)

Pattern Designer

I am the owner of Knitspot - knitting patterns, clubs, and artisan yarns. I am a life-long knitter with a background in the fashion and graphic design fields, and began designing clothing, knitwear and accessories during the 1970s. I teach and write about knitting, spinning, and designing at my blog, Knitspot. I live and work in Ohio with David, who loves wool, too. My design work/profile has been included in Knitty, The Knitter, Interweave Knits, and Twist Collective, Sock Club, Brave New Knits, as well as several upcoming publications. The complete catalog of Knitspot patterns is available for browsing and purchasing at http://www.knitspot.com/knitting_pattern/index.php Knitspot yarn clubs are reknowned for perfect pairings of luxury yarn and design, as well as the rollicking good fun in our Ravelry clubhouse where members meet, chat, and knit through club projects together. http://www.knitspot.com/clubs/index.html Our Bare Naked yarns are as close to the farm as a knitter can get, using fresh fiber produce from regional growers which is then spun into yarn at smaller artisan mills with which I have worked over the years. The collection is focused on single-breed pure wool yarns and exotic blends, with colors that range an entire array of natural tones—yarn the way nature made it. http://knitspot.com/knitting_pattern/yarn-c-21.html
