How to crochet a Tam

[@Vicscrochet]

I am currently in active chemo treatments and I love to crochet. I've been making hats to donate to the cancer center I go to. I just want to say , your message spoke to me this morning. Your tutorial was easy to follow and your voice is calming. Thank you and many blessings to you and yours.

[@JessHandmadeDesigns]

Jess I love how you have so good camera quality to see what your doing plus your really specific in general that)s why I’m going to sub to you

[@JessHandmadeDesigns]

Thanks so much ❤️

[@savannah6722]

Wonderful detailed explanation but the hat was even bigger than I thought.

[@JessHandmadeDesigns]

Blessings, it's not a hat. It's an xl tam cater to people with long locs or longer braids. If you want to make it smaller, you can tighten your tension, use a smaller hook, less increase rounds, and build the height of the tam you desire. I will be making a smaller tam and uploading it as soon as I can. Thanks so much for watching. I appreciate it!

[@savannah6722]

[@nailsbyshae9865]

Also do you chain one at the end of the last stitch or just join with a slip stitch then chain

[@JessHandmadeDesigns]

Join at the 1st HDC and then Ch1, and the chain 1 doesn't count as a stitch ❤️

[@OMGrannySquare]

I'm enjoying this while putting my squares together!! Love it (Question: 4 ply yarn, is that like a 2 weight? or do you mean 4 weight? In South Africa 4ply yarn is one size thinner than a 3 weight/Double Knit).

[@JessHandmadeDesigns]

Thanks so much. I think for you it's Aran/ Worsted or 10 ply 🥰 I will most definitely keep that in mind ❤

[@OMGrannySquare]

@@JessHandmadeDesigns That's right. Because the next one up is chunky.

[@JessHandmadeDesigns]

@OMGrannySquare thanks so much I edited the description box 🥰

[@nailsbyshae9865]

What hook brand are you using is it Susan bates. Also the last stitch of the row do you also chain 1 or just join to the hdc

[@JessHandmadeDesigns]

Tulip

[@nailsbyshae9865]

Ok last question promise. Now wat do I do if I want it even longer?

[@JessHandmadeDesigns]

After you do round 18, you can keep going and then come back to start decreasing the Tam. It has a nice stretch to it. If you fast forward close to the end, you see what I mean. Happy crocheting ❤

[@yarnaddict1]

Double crochet please

[@JessHandmadeDesigns]

Blessings, I have a double crochet tam that I've been making for years. Would you like for me to do a tutorial on it?

[@kesham3612]

I love your work!❤
Question: If I wanted to make an XXL Tam, would I just add more increase rows in the base?

[@JessHandmadeDesigns]

Thanks so much! When I say rounds 13-18 you can do more than 18 rounds to make it a XXL. Because after that we will be starting our decrease rounds 🥰 Happy Crocheting!

[@kesham3612]

Thank you so much

[@kesham3612]

How many more would you recommend

[@JessHandmadeDesigns]

This Tam already has a nice stretch to it, so I would say 5-7 more rows ❤ to make it XXL 🥰

[@kesham3612]

Thank you so much
