Bearing in mind the pattern format that was given previously for a
pumpkin sweater, use the forest green for the ribbing, take the sweater up
in deep red, and latch tool every 6 or 8 stitches for definition.
Hat - cast on in red and knit allowing the ribbing to roll, for the
top leaves do as in the pumpkin but use a deeper green, make the stem the
same as in the pumpkin.
Mittens - in red with green and brown stripes,
Scarf - knit in red with green and brown fringe.

I have been playing with this particular pattern for a bit and have
it down basically and want to give you the oppotunity to play with it for a
while, do a test swatch and using the tuck stitch tuck over five rows every
five stitches, then on the next five rows move the tuck stitch in so that it
rests on the third stitch, that will palce the tuck in the middle of the one
above it and give a honeycomb effect.
For a raspberry sweater cast on in dark green, and then change and
using your swatch as a guide change to either deep purple/red, or black/red
and knit up in the honeycomb style, if not mistaken, there is a pattern in
the first Bond & Beyond Afghans and Throw books for a baby afghan using the
stitch over 4- 5 rows, have tried this on a hat and it is adorable.
For the hat, use your guage to form the multiple of stitches and
using green knit at least the ten rows for the rolled brim in green, then
take it up in colour of your berry choice, this could also be grapes if
desired, then end at the top without leaves or a stem.
For the mittens, do the bands in green and the mittens in the same
stitch,
Scarf the same as desired.
Socks can be knit in the same way remembering to stop the pattern
above the ankle as it will only wear down and confuse you after the heel
shaping, but you can maintain it on the top of the foot, hopefully this one
will be charted before I return home.

Subject: [BOND] One more design> I promise no more till next week.
In looking at a pattern for a strawberry sweater, though this one as
well could be converted to a cute hat pattern, I would knit it with the
green base as before rolled brim, then change to a fluffy red worsted weight
yarn and then work in a stitch of yellow worsted weight as if you were
knitting in dots, or as Cheryl Brunnette refers to them as little birds or
little lice. Take it to the top as before, and end with a set of leaaves
about three around the top and a green stem, this would be adorbale. And to
think I can hardly wait to knit these for the shelter.

Hi Guys,
When Linda posted her pumpkin sweater ideas awhile back I was intrigued
by the idea for the hat...Here's what I came up with.....
Fruit or Flower Cap
Infant up to toddler age 5
1 3 ounce skein worsted weight yarn in green
1 3 ounce worsted weight yarn in rose( or orange or red or purple or
yellow....etc....)
Basic cap:
CO 70 needles with WY K 6 R......Break off WY and K 47 R with MY being
sure to leave a two foot length hanging down.....BO using back
stitch.....Remove work from machine and before removing hem thread your
long tail threw the first row of stitch where they meet the WY.....Break
off hem and set aside
Leaves:
CO 3 needles with closed edge CO...Use claw weights to weight
knitting....K 2 R...Increase 1 stitch on carraige side every row
10x.....K 1 row Straight....Decrease 1 stitch carraige side every row
10x...You should have three stiches left....BO using back stitch....Make
three leaves
Stem:
CO 10 needles with WY K 3 R...Break off WY....With MY K 10 R...Bring
first row of MY up to needles...Knit 1 R and BO using back
stitch....Remove WY
Finish:
Pull the long tail that you threaded threw the first row of stitches to
gather....Use this tail to sew side seam....Remove WY...Let the bottom
edge roll the way it wants to.....Sew down leaves around the gathers in
the top covering the hole and hiding the loose thread ends under the
leaves.......Sew down stem twisting and curling it as you go to make it
resemble a vine...You now have what resemble a flower hat....
Do yellow for a lemon....Red with black spots put ont by hand for a
strawberry....Purple for a eggplant...Etc...
Do orange for a pumpkin....K 6 R straight then release every 5th stitch
onto WY and K 47 R.....Rib up each 5th stitch....From the front this
should give you indentations like on a real pumpkin.....
You could do a scarf to match just make some extra leaves and Co 55 sts
K 120 R BO sew leaves down around short edges of scarf...Single crochet
the long sides..... Enjoy
P.S.
My Daughter is going to be a gaint Pea Pod for Halloween....I think I'll
make the hat in all green to go with her costume....Gina TTFN

Hi GUys,
More ideas for the Cap Pattern I already posted...You could do the basic
cap with bobbles all over then add the leaves and stem for a grape or
Raspberry...You could, for the strawberry, do tucks all over and the add
a bit of black inside each tuck stitch...Then add the leaves and
stem...This Pattern would be great to try some of those fancy stitches
that you want to do before you start a whole sweater or larger
project...Gina..TTFN
