Product Details

This is the second pattern in my "All the Jigs and Reels" series.

The light jig is the second dance learned in most Irish dance schools. Like the light reel, it is done in softshoes (aka ghillies; gill-eez). The time signature is 6/8, and 6 sts lend themselves nicely to a braid cable. I’ve kept the Moss st as it’s a lovely frame for cables and looks a lot fussier than it is.

The Light Jig Tam is knit from the top down, in the round. I have included both written and charted instructions.
