Pattern Description from Craftster:

“A while ago I posted a tam I made here. Unfortunately, it was cool yet totally impractical as it was a.) way too damn loose and b.) freakin’ GIGANTIC and HEAVY. Needless to say, it hasn’t seen the light of day because I don’t have a head like the elephant man… I’ve written two more tam patterns since then, the first of which ended up way too small and looked more like a puffy little mushroom cap than a tam, but the second finally ended up exactly as I wanted it to!! It’s big and slouchy and I can fit all my hair in it but it stays firmly on my head and it’s soft and squishy. The yarn is just some Malabrigo I had in my stash and I admit, they weren’t my first choices for a color combination but I really like the way it ended up. It reminds me of the little mermaid.”
