Metria Tam
Sizes The Tam crochet pattern is designed to fit Adult Small, with a Large size variation also available. The example shown in the photos is sized for Large.
Finished Measurements: After blocking, the Tam features a brim circumference of 18 inches for the Small size and 20 inches for the Large size.
Materials: For this stylish Tam, you will need Universal Yarn Cotton Supreme Sequins, a lovely blend that combines 97% cotton and 3% polyester. You will require just 1 skein of color 702 Sterling, which provides a beautiful sheen and texture, with each skein containing 100 grams and approximately 180 yards of yarn.
Needles: This pattern calls for US Size 7 (4.5 mm) double-pointed needles to achieve the required gauge. If you prefer tighter stitches, you can also use US Size 5 (3.75 mm) dpns. Make sure to choose the needle size that best suits your personal knitting style to ensure the perfect fit.
Notions: In addition to your needles and yarn, you'll need a stitch marker to help keep track of your rounds, as well as a yarn needle for weaving in ends and any finishing touches.
Gauge: For the Tam pattern, the gauge is 17 stitches and 24 rows per 4 inches in seed stitch when using the larger needles. It's essential to check your gauge before starting to ensure your Tam turns out just right. Remember, saving time by checking your gauge can prevent future frustrations!
This stylish and versatile Tam is perfect for both beginner and experienced knitters looking to add a lovely handmade accessory to their wardrobe. Whether you're preparing for the colder months or simply enjoy showcasing your knitting skills, this project is sure to provide satisfaction and warmth!
