On the twelfth round of the tam, decrease on the first 2 stitches, then make 5 single crochet stitches. Then decrease on next 2 stitches and make 5 single crochets. Continue decreasing in this way until tam fits doll’s head.
About 4 rows of decreasing will be needed, which makes 15 full rows from starting place. Do not break off yarn, but learn how—
To Make the Head Band
Make 4 rows of single crochet, taking up both threads of stitches in rounds just finished. Break off the yarn and fasten the end by making a slip stitch and pulling end all the way through the last loop.
To Make the Tassel
1. Cut a strip of cardboard, making it 1½ inches wide and about 2 inches long.
2. Cut off 2 pieces of yarn, each measuring 1 yard, lay them together, side by side.
