Thanks everyone for your support of our custom knits. We look forward to 2022 being a great year and hope to continue to support the needs of our awesome customers during this retirement process. We will be accepting orders on a limited basis on the camouflage garments. I will post the jackets, pants, or vests in the online store when I have the time to knit and fill the order. Thanks for your patience.
Have a Great Day, Sharon
Winona Camo™ ~ Ridge Runner Hat.
Originated by Bob Fratzke
Available Sizes: One Size Fits Most and xlarge Stretchable
Winona Camo© is knit with 100% acrylic or 34% merino wool/ 66% acrylic select under options below.
Note: Custom Knitting is all about OPTIONS. The option here is in the finishing. Some hunters like their hats to have a tighter fit to securely stay on the head: under 'Select Trim' we offer that an elastic strip is inserted in the back rib, along with the rib being knit with the spandex Lycra. 'Choose Elastic' if you want this option. Other hunters want a loose fit, and feel after a day of wearing a hat with the elastic insert would give them a headache. 'Choose NO Elastic' if you want this option.
- Select between different Color Combinations or contact us if you want to create your own camo color ways using our available colors of yarn
- Select your Back Band Rib trim color using any of the 3 colors within your Camo Color way.
- Select One Size Fits Most or XLarge
- Select the Trim Accent: Elastic or NO Elastic
- Hand Loomed for Quality Workmanship and Personal Care
- Hand wash and lay flat to dry,
- Double Bed Jacquard Fabric (no yarn floats on the inside of garment).
- The only thing I did different in the reconstruction is, taking advantage of modern day technology, I added lycra to the back rib band for better elasticity and inserted elastic in the rib hem to better control sizing for wash and wear and different head sizes. See Note at top to decide if you want the Elastic OPTION or not.

Each camo cap is individually hand loomed and assembled. It is NOT a mass produced item.

(Note from Sharon: this is a quote from Bob Fratzke submitted by phone.) "Sharon, I was impressed with the quality of the workmanship and the softness of the merino wool, it was not itchy at all. We did not access to this wool when I was knitting the Winona Camo Knits and this is very nice." I continued to ask Bob what he thought about the addition of the elastic in the rib band. He responded to say that the lycra would probably be sufficient, but it was a nice option if someone wanted the additional elastic. by Bob Fratzke Date Added: Sunday 17 April, 2011
