Mini Spiral Tam Garland Kit
|
|
Designed by our friend and local knitwear designer Ann Budd - we bring you the "Mini Tam Garland" kit for your mantle or tree, for year round or Holiday decor.
I love the look of strings of tiny knitwear—socks, mittens, hats, etc. This garland features miniature tams knitted on double-pointed needles, beginning with a ribbed brim at the base and ending with a tiny I-cord knob at the top.
The simple pattern is easily memorized and, when worked using three colors, the design possibilities are seemingly endless. The tams are strung on 3/2 perle cotton with about 2” (5 cm) of space between tams; overhand knots are tied in the string at the edge of each tam to prevent them from slipping. Hang them on a tree, or over a fireplace, door, or window. Enjoy! ~ Ann
