This classic and elegant Tam is knit in the softest yarn imaginable for an incredibly luxurious way to keep your head warm!

This pattern is suitable for the knitter with experience reading a chart.

Shown on a 22 inch head.

I used one skein of Purl Soho Nigh DK in the color Petrified Wood.

Please note that if you would like to knit the matching Hesperis Mitts and Hesperis Cowl you will need a total of 3 skeins.

Nigh DK yarn from Purl Soho is available here. This is an affiliate link and I will receive a portion of the sales at no additional cost to you. It is a lovely way to support my work, thank you.
