A tam so nice I knit it twice

Yay!

My second Fair Isle tam is a winner!
I rearranged my colours a little, watched my tension and BAM! A successfull tam.
I gotta say, blocking can really make or break this baby. I usually block beret style hats over a dinner plate. This hat however, really needs to be blocked to a specific size to end up the right shape. My lovely vintage hotelware just wasn’t going to cut it. I ended up doing like the pattern suggests (follow the pattern? – crazy!) and cut a piece of cardboard to block the tam with.
Worked like a charm!
