This slouchy tam in three sizes (S/M/L) has texture and a sassy tilt inspired by shell structures. The knitting fun starts with an asymmetrical garter stitch brim shaped in short rows, then moves on to a welting pattern worked in knit and purl which brings to mind the shifting sands at water’s edge. The design is compatible with solids as well as softly shaded self-striping or gradient yarn and variegated yarns with longer color runs.
Substituting yarn and/or needles may result in an overall variation in size and elasticity.

samples shown are size large and size medium knit in Feederbrook Farm Entropy, colorway Magnetic Flux, custom dyed for the passion club and available in the knitspot pattern shop while supplies last
