After seeing this bag which was posted to my FB wall, I decided to look at how knitters have interpreted fruit in knitting.<\/p>\n

The most classic of patterns is Fruit Caps from Ann Norling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

Strawberry Hat from Ann Norling<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

This is a pattern to knit a child’s strawberry hat, with variations that include a raspberry hat, as well. You can also turn the hat into a pumpkin with the addition of ribs of purl stitches. <\/p>\n

Another pattern from Ann Norling is one that looks like a watermelon<\/a> – very lovely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Berry Cute from Fiber Trends<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Fiber Trends has also interpreted the raspberry hat in a very different way and added a pumpkin and pineapple<\/a> version too!<\/p>\n

There is something very irresistible about a hat that looks like a berry or a flower or an animal. Not only is it the element of surprise – a handbag made of berries! – but we can bring all the delicious sweetness of the berries to the hat or bag. With animal motifs, we bring all the “cuteness” of the animal to the garment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

Patrick’s Pumpkin from Fiber Trends<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

I remember once seeing a scarf that looked like a school bus. It had all the fun of the first day of school or a class trip!<\/p>\n

The demand for “style” probably trumps this type of playfulness in adult hats; but kids still understand the idea of fun and that’s why knitting for them can be so much fun!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
