Lundey Tam

Puffins, with their distinctive coloring and quirky appearance, are incredibly endearing, and that’s why they’ve earned the charming nickname ‘Clowns of the Sea.’ If you’re a knitting enthusiast looking to create something unique and playful, our Puffin tam pattern might just be the perfect project for you!

This delightful pattern is expertly designed to be knitted from the brim and is available in six sizes, ensuring a perfect fit for everyone in the family. The Puffin motif is worked using only two shades at any given time, making it a manageable yet visually striking project. To achieve that lovely detail on the beak and feet of the Puffin, we recommend using the duplicate stitch technique after you’ve completed knitting the tam.

Additionally, did you know that Lundy Island in the UK is home to a significant population of these charming birds? The name Lundy is believed to be derived from the Old Norse term Lundey, which translates as Puffin (Lund) Island (-ey). Creating this Puffin-themed knitting project not only adds a whimsical touch to your wardrobe but also connects you to the natural beauty and cultural history of this unique island.

Whether you're a beginner looking to hone your skills or an experienced knitter in search of your next fun project, this Puffin tam pattern is a fantastic choice. Get ready to bring your love for these sea clowns to life through your knitting! Available for free and for purchase on our website, it's time to dive into a delightful knitting adventure!
