The Buness Tam, designed by MJ Mucklestone, is inspired by the summer flowers of Shetland - fields of sea-pinks, roadside berms of ragged robin, drifting feathers and curious small leaves combine to make this sweet tam. Buness is knit straight up from the brim, the crown decreases create shaping for the large flower motif. The classic flat tam shape is achieved by blocking over a dinner plate!

I’m set to give this another go. It’s a fabulous hat! The J&S fingering is yummy. The pattern is clear and detailed. My only concern is that the White in the Kit is Stone and the hat would look better with a white background. I’ll fix that for the next one 🙂. I loved making it and I’ll live wearing it.
