This Tam is a beautiful tribute to Notre Dame.
I used Jamieson’s Shetland Spindrift that is absolutely perfect to use for colour-work as each ball is only 25grams.
The brim is worked in corrugated rib.
This tam is standard colour-work and also using 3 or more colours.
Instructions are as simple as can be for shaping the crown with a centered double decrease.
This hat can be blocked and stretched into a beanie or
using an 11 inch plate to create a slouchy tam.
