What is a fruit cap and where can I get the pattern?
A fruit cap is a little hat, usually for toddlers. There are several patterns. There is a group of patterns put out by Fiber Trends, including “A Berry Cute Hat” (designed by Beverly Galeskas, owner of Fiber Trends), “Patrick’s Pumpkin” (designed by our own Lee Ann Bonson! Her son is the model), and a pineapple hat (by Lisa Carnahan). There are even mittens to match these hats (Lisa Carnahan designed these too). The others are by Ann Norling, who also has a set of flower caps. Check your local knitting store. If they carry Ann Norling or Fiber Trends patterns, they probably carry these too. In addition, our own Schuyler has made up some patterns for sweaters to match the fruitcaps.
