I used a variation on a pattern stitch that I really like in a few different ways in the upcoming tam patterns.

This is the most lacy version, so it is the lightest and uses the least yarn. As with all of these, I knit it with my own handspun, but any 200-plus-yard ball of worsted-weight yarn (like Cascade 220) should work very well for it, and have leftover yarn to boot.

Errata: There should only be one ssk and one k2tog in each repeat of the pattern. The stitches closest to the yo should be knits.

The website that previously hosted this has dropped all of my old patterns. They are currently unavailable, but I may reissue them at another time.
