Alicia Tam

Transform the classic elegance of the 1940s into modern-day chic with our stunning knitting pattern set inspired by Alfred Hitchcock’s timeless film, *Notorious*. This beautifully designed stranded colorwork tam and mitt ensemble features striking touches of crimson, bringing a vibrant pop to the sophisticated shades of gray that swirl together, reminiscent of the iconic silhouettes and dramatic shadows celebrated in Hitchcock’s suspenseful storytelling. Both patterns are crafted to be knit in the round, ensuring minimal finishing and a polished look that is perfect for any leading lady—whether you're stepping out for a night on the town or enjoying a cozy day indoors. This set is not only a fashionable choice but also a delightful knitting challenge that will enhance your skills.

Sizes available are designed to comfortably fit head circumferences of 17" (43 cm), 20" (51 cm), and 23" (58.5 cm), catering to a variety of head sizes for a perfect fit.

For this enticing project, you will need Brooklyn Tweed Loft yarn, which is made from 100% wool, with 275 yards (251 m) available per 50 g skein. For the color palette, gather 1 skein each of the following: (Color A) Fossil #23, (Color B) Soot #24, (Color C) Sweatshirt #28, (Color D) Cast Iron #20, and (Color E) Long Johns #05. This careful selection of colors will contribute to the sophisticated aesthetic inspired by the film.

Pattern Notes: If you wish to create a customized size configuration for the Tam and Mitt set, you will need 2 skeins of your chosen color for optimal results. This makes it easy to personalize your set while ensuring you have enough yarn to beautifully complete your project.

Whether you're a seasoned knitter or a budding enthusiast, this pattern provides an excellent opportunity to express your creativity while paying homage to classic cinematic style. Dive into this project and let your knitting needles bring vintage glamour to life!
