Based Weldon’s Practical Crochet, a Tam made from this pattern is a refreshing way to manage stray tresses in spring breezes. When this pattern is worked with Paton’s ‘Grace’ 100% cotton, it is light and cool.

Stitch tension is very important in this pattern. Let the throat of your hook be your guide as to how large or small your stitches are. There is a tendency among some to crochet too tightly when working single crochets or when using a non-stretchy yarn.
