Horae Tam and Cowl – Project Kit
This beautiful Fair Isle tam and cowl was designed by Virginia Sattler-Reimer using our Shetland 4-ply from our Coffee Range. We love the traditional shape of the tam, and the cowl is really useful to keep you cosy in the cold weather.
The Yarn Only Kit will come in one of our recyclable cardboard project boxes, and will contain 2 skeins of Shetland 4-ply and a code to access the pattern on one of Virginia’s stores (details below). The photographs show the tam and cowl knitted in Espresso and Latte shades, although you can pick from any of colours from our coffee range.
Pattern Level of Ability: Advanced
Please note that Horae Tam and Cowl kit does not contain a printed copy of the pattern. The patterns are available to purchase from Virginia Sattler-Reimer’s Ravelry and Etsy store.
