My favourite tam pattern is the three hares pattern – but for Halloween this year I wanted to make a version with cats. Not cute friendly kitties… more like scary, straight from the depths of the abyss kind of cats. Proper Halloween hellcats pursuing scuttling rodents. So drumroll here is the Cat and Mouse tam.

This is a one-size-fits-all pattern, knit bottom up in the round using stranded technique. The tam has a circumference of 26 inches/66 cm and is 5 inches/13 cm tall. The crown is 10 inches/26cm across.
