When it’s time for a summer party or tea at the Ritz these fruit desserts are just the thing!

This is a wonderfully versatile pattern that allows you to create a whole range of different tartlets and meringues, all with a colorful fruity theme.

The fruits also make pretty little charms for bags, cell phones, key rings etc. just add a yarn loop. They look great mixed up together in a bowl as fruit salad too. The healthy option for dolly and teddy’s picnic treat!
