Very loosely inspired by Martha Jones’ tam in Doctor Who (I can’t find a picture of it, plus it was crocheted to begin with). In any case, both are purple tams, and mine has been absolutely lovely to wear during the fall.

CO a multiple of 4 to get 22 in around (approx 88 st), do 2×2 ribbing for 1 in. Increase once every 4 st (by knitting into leg of stitch below). Knit about 4 in. stockinette. Decrease in pinwheel, pull yarn through last stitches and add pompom.
