This pattern is also available in my Payhip Store.

Inspiration can sometimes come from surprising sources. This tam was inspired by the trellis pattern glimpsed briefly whilst watching a TV program. It uses two colours in an all-over pattern of curves and straight lines. Instructions are given for four sizes, small, medium narrow, medium wide, or large. The narrow and wide sizes refer to how full the tam part of the hat is. This tam is roomy and warm.

Suggested yarn: Jamieson’s Shetland Spindrift, 1 or 2 balls of each colour depending on size; sample shown in

239 Purple Heather
