Basic Worsted Tam for the Family
The tam traditionally was meant to sit on the head above the ears. Living here in New England, most of us would not find that practical! These tams are designed with a little extra length in the body portion to allow the tam to fit down over the ears while still keeping the tam shape. If you wish to wear your tam more traditionally above the ears, make the body portion of the tam 1” to 1 ½” shorter. Pattern is also written with 3 decorative top decrease options. Enjoy!
