We love the tam. It can be traditional or modern, but it always adds a certain jaunty flair to any outfit. When they get really fancy, we find they are almost too pretty to wear, and start to ‘save’ them for special occasions. This one is meant as an easy, everyday hat, one that you’ll toss in your pocket without a second thought. If you are very careful with your yarn usage, you should be able to get two tams from the two balls of Stroll Tweed.

This hat is worked from the bottom up and is fully charted.
