This fun tam is both feminine and practical - it can be pulled down over your ears for extra warmth, or worn jauntily when the weather turns better.

The pretty button tab (with functioning buttonhole) is a cute addition which is a super fun end to an enjoyable project, and the colour palette of both yarns present any number of striking combinations which will suit year-round outfits in our beautiful Northumberland surrounds.
