Make a textured, generously slouched tam using Tunisian crochet—featuring bold colourwork and a clean interior with no floats or carried yarn.

Inspired by traditional Scottish tam styles, this design combines a knitted look with a subtle textured motif detail, all achieved using a no-float colourwork method.

This is an advanced pattern, created for confident Tunisian crocheters looking for a fresh approach to colourwork.

Why this pattern is different

Traditional colourwork leaves loose floats across the back of your work. This method doesn’t.
No floats to catch or snag
No strands carried across the back with a neat reverse

The result is a slouchy tam that looks as good on the inside as it does on the outside
