thank you, both. the adult pattern from chelsea might do for a men's tam. i'll give it a whirl... or rather have my knitter give it a whirl...

check out www.scotwars.com . I think there is a nice one there if you want to knit it yourself. Otherwise, see my signature.

thanks, lickstone. earlier this week my knitting machine mother crocheted and felted a nice green tam for me from the adult pattern provided by chelsea, above. wore it yesterday in the somerville, nj st patrick's day parade.

would like to see some other patterns, though. will pm. thanks.
