Dudes: What up? So, I purchased a book on Tams because I really like the patterning; however, I don't want to wear a tam. How could I mess with the pattern to make the tam into a nice hat?

I suspect you will find most of the tam patterns have you increasing (if top down) or decreasing) if bottom up) at 4 per row, or 8 per every other row.
If you change that ratio to 10 per every other row, or 6 every other row, you should get a much more "beanie" shaped hat.
