Briggs and Little Heritage is a workhorse yarn from Canada’s oldest woolen mill. It’s hearty and wonderful for keeping you toasty when the temperature drops!

This pattern is suitable for the knitter with experience reading a chart and stranded colorwork.

The hat will fit an average adult, with a head circumference of 19-23”
Hat circumference (unstretched): 22”
Height from brim to crown: 9.25”

To block a tam, dry over an inverted dinner plate perched over a vase or mixing bowl.

Shown on a 22” head.

I used one skein each of Fundy Fog and Plum. One skein each will make both the hat and the matching Overwinter Mittens.

You can find the Overwinter Mittens pattern here.

Heritage is carried at Woolly Thistle here. This is an affiliate link and I will receive a portion of the sales at no additional cost to you. It is a lovely way to support my work, thank you.

Heritage is also available directly from Maritime Family Fiber.
