Tam-O'-Shanter



















This is the Sassy Pat version of tam-o'-shanter.

* By Webster's definition:
Tam-o'-shanter: a Scottish cap with a round, flat top
and, often, a center tassel.

As you can see I skipped the tassel.
The tam is knit with one skein of Amazing (see Lion brand).

The pattern is an adaptation of WW022 RollinBeret
from Wooly Wormwood posted on Ravelry.

I cast on 72 stitches.
K2,P2 for an 1.5 inches.
Knit one row.
K2, increase 1 all the way around.
Place a marker every 19 stitches.
Knit for 4.75 inches.

Crown:
Knit two together before each marker
every row until 6 stitches remain.

I did not block it.
I wanted it to have more definition.

The Colorways create the illusion
that you have taken up painting.
