Mockingbird Tam and Scarf     This lacey set is as fun to knit as it is to wear. The tam begins with a tubular cast-on to provide a stretchy brim and then stitches are increased to create the slightly slouchy shape. The scarf is worked in two halves, each from the end to the center, then grafter together. The subtle variegation in the yarn provides beautiful color depth and visual interest. Because the stitch pattern is easy to memorize, both projects make good companions during holiday travels.       Finished Measurements: about 16" circumference at brim of tam; will stretch to 21" about 6" wide and 59" long scarf Yarn Requirements: Madeline Tosh Sock 100% superwash merino 100 gram hank = approx 395 yards • 2 hanks: composition book grey Knitting Needles: Size US 2 (2.75 mm): 16" circular and set of 4 or 5 dpns for tam; size US 3 (3.5 mm) straight for scarf Or size to obtain gauge.
