Hazel Tam

I designed this tam as a 90th birthday present for a family friend. The centre motif represents the pyramidal orchid, which is the official flower of the Isle of Wight, where the recipient was born.

Only very small amounts of each colour are needed to make this hat, so it’s a terrific way to use up leftover yarn, especially sock yarn!

Important note: This pattern is also available in a low-vision/screen reader format, but unfortunately LoveCrafts only allows a single PDF file per pattern. Following your purchase, please contact the designer directly if you need the LVSR version sent to you!

Skills required: Knitting, purling, increasing, decreasing, stranded knitting. If you want to follow the charted instructions, you’ll also need to be able to follow a chart. However, this is not required, as written instructions are also provided.
