I have taken the heart motif from the Kestrel Tam and created an entire tam of the motif.
c/o 140 with liner cashmere, provisional c/o then 9 rows, k1 row with loganberry, p1 row then begin corrugated rib.
K = 2 loganberry, 3 raspberry, 2 cardinal, 3 gentian.
K1, P1 = cyclamen, lilac, mist, pot-porri, orchid.
Then place c/o stitches on thinner needle and K into hem with gentian while at same time increase to 168 stitches.
Change site of decreases p row 51 for motif integrity.
blocked over 11” glass plate.
second tam - c/o and 10 rows of cashmere lining, double row of P turning edge and different sequence of colors on brim.
