This beautiful tam with its geometric patterning and gorgeous woodland shades is perfect for autumn and winter wear.
Knitted in the round as one piece, it has a simple stranded charted pattern that is suitable for beginners and features a ribbed cuff.

Elizabeth Woodville (1437 - 1492) was the wife of King Edward IV of England. She was known to be very beautiful and played a large role in the war of the roses. She was thought to have been a witch and have magical powers as a descendant of Melusine the water spirit.

This pattern matches the Woodville Mitts and can be purchased as an ebook of both patterns.
