Three Tams »

Instructions

There are three lovely tam patterns available, as you would guess by the name!

Difficulty:

Category: Knitting

Type of item: Accessory

For: Women

Style: Traditional, Classic


Materials

Worsted weight yarns: one solid color (Ella Rae Classic yarn) and one variegated (KnitPicks Chroma Worsted), size 3 and 5 needles

What was your inspiration?

I love stranding, and using a variegated yarn makes a project look far harder than it is.

What are you most proud of?

The color combination.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Don't think that this is really hard to do--it isn't! It just takes a bit of practice to get your tension even.

Would someone please consider doing a brief tutorial in the proper way to read the charts that accompany knitting in the round like this? LOVE this pattern and got it started, but am having trouble continuing on as the "blank spaces" on the chart aren't lining up with my work! =( Would love to finish this - please H*E*L*P! Thanks! ;)

Let me see what I can do tomorrow in the way of explaining. Or maybe we can connect in Ravelry (where you will find me as Trudi) and I can try to help you figure out what is going on.

Are you up to round 30? If so, go back and use the last stitch from round 29 as the first of the two slipped knitwise stitches. If you use the last stitch from the previous round as the first slipped stitch each time you need to do a decrease, that should take care of the problem. I hope it does!

Lovely pattern and colours. It reminds me of chrysanthemum quilts, but the six-petalled flower in the centre fits even better with that design.
