Crochet Tam

smaller version of my irish crochet Tam hat minus the embellishments

This is a smaller version of my Irish crochet Tam hat. I had two balls left after making the kits for my etsy store so I made the same hat with half as many increases and got this little smaller version.  I also omitted the  cutting of one thread on the hat band and going to the steel hook. Was an experiment and I think it worked well The yarn is Bernat Cassino vintage yarn from the 1980's and no longer made. The color twill cream/tan) when worked up looks like a cream color. I made a similar hat just to give you an idea of what the color looks like better in the kits using the two balls of but it is much smaller than the one in the kit and not near as fancy.  Now what to do with it do I embellish it keep it or sell it.  Have not decided yet.

update:
Shortly after  posting this one of my neighbors stopped bye and we were discussing her friend with cancer.  Yep that must be why I made it to give to the neighbor so she can give to her friend to cover her head because of the treatments.  Somethings you never know why you are doing something till after you have done it.
