This tam of Elizabeth’s was shown in WG#20 (March 1979), knitted for The Gaffer (EZ’s husband, Arnold). Even though the photo was in black and white, many knitters wanted the exact pattern, so EZ included a very tiny chart in a subsequent issue. Here is a newly-knitted version in today’s
available Shetland Spindrift shades.
