Snapdragon Tam

£3.75

The Snapdragon Tam is also available as part of the collection Whimsical Little Knits Book 2

A cosy tam featuring an allover lattice cable pattern, with petals (or perhaps they’re little flames) that grow organically in the centre of each open section. Although the instructions look lengthy and the chart may seem a little daunting Snapdragon is surprisingly simple to knit, and of course you can work from either written or charted directions. Whether worked in a bright glowing colour or a cool neutral Snapdragon is a fun pattern that’s sure to cheer up dreary winter days and would make a perfect gift.

Complete a cute matching set by making the Snapdragon flip-tops.
