This is the third tam in the Weeds collection. The pattern features a design based upon the delicate waving seeds of the wild oat plant. Tall slender stems hold up a wealth of bird food in tiny nodding heads. Each one begins as a single long oval and then, as they ripen and open out, becomes three or more tightly wrapped seeds, each with a long hair at the tip. Instructions are given for four sizes, small, medium narrow, medium wide, or large. The narrow and wide sizes refer to how full the tam part of the hat is. Being a tam, this hat is roomy and warm.
