One of the things I love about handspun is the slow color transitions that occur naturally in the yarn. The thinner you spin, the more the beauty and subtlety of hand dyed fiber can be appreciated—and this little tam is meant to display your gorgeous lightweight handspun or hand dyed yarn to it’s fullest! Worked from the top down, the drop stitch and eyelet patterning make this breezy piece a quick knit, even on the small needles. Cast on at the Drop of a Hat to make as a quick-knit gift or as a little instant something for yourself—a project for spontaneous knitting fun!
