Wholesale Cap America Knit Beanies and Cuffed Caps for Cold-Weather Programs and Embroidery Shops
Cold-weather headwear programs live or die on cuff quality, and Cap America builds one of the deepest knit ranges in the wholesale channel to cover it: cuffed knit caps, uncuffed beanies, cable and waffle textures, recycled acrylic options, fleece pull-ons, and pattern knits that carry camouflage into the beanie wall. This page walks through the full knit lineup so a buyer can match a program to the right build before placing an order, with links to the individual Cap America TKN24 Knit Cap with Cuff and its companions below. For the wider brand range beyond knits, the full Cap America catalog covers structured caps, trucker mesh, and camo builds alongside these beanies.
What separates a workable knit program from a mismatched one is cuff construction. A fold-up cuff hoops flat for embroidery, a ribbed cuff needs stretch-friendly backing, and a pom or striped crown changes how a logo reads once the knit is worn folded. Every style below notes its cuff type so a decorator or reseller can plan a season of headwear without guessing. Buyers who want the short list first can start from Cap America Best Sellers and return here once a knit program needs more depth.
Cuffed Knits, Uncuffed Beanies and Textured Builds in One Knit Wall
The backbone of the range is the standard cuffed knit cap. The Cap America TKN24 Knit Cap with Cuff runs an acrylic pro rib Tompkin knit with a fold-up cuff built for embroidery, and its uncuffed sibling, the Cap America TKN28 Knit Beanie, drops the cuff entirely for a slouch fit that still shares the same pro rib construction. Buyers who commit to the TKN24 as a program staple can track it on its own dedicated Cap America TKN24 wholesale page, which isolates the style for fast reorders.
Pattern-in-the-knit styles fill the middle of the wall. The Cap America RKB12 Bar Knit Cap with Cuff knits a staggered bar pattern through the crown above a solid cuff and a matching three-color pom, while the Cap America RKD12 Diamond Pattern Knit Cap with Cuff works a two-color diamond motif through the crown over a solid cuff. The Cap America RKL12 Striped Knit Cap with Cuff alternates black and white variegated yarn with dark heather and an accent color, and the Cap America RKP12 Plaid Knit Cap with Cuff puts a classic plaid crown over a solid cuff for a heritage look. The Cap America RKF12 Snowflake Knit Cap with Cuff is the seasonal specialist, knitting a snowflake motif through the crown with a two-color pom, and it is proudly made in the USA of imported yarn. On the beanie side, the Cap America RKS9 Static Pattern Knit Beanie and its cuffed counterpart, the Cap America RKS12 Static Pattern Knit Cap with Cuff, both knit a two-color static design throughout, giving buyers the same graphic in cuffed and uncuffed formats. The Cap America RKV9 Variegated Striped Beanie rounds out the striped group with black and white variegated yarn against contrasting stripes.
Two recycled builds serve sustainability-minded programs. The Cap America SKN24 Recycled Knit Cap with Cuff and the Cap America SKN28 Recycled Knit Beanie both run a pro rib Tompkin knit in a 50 percent recycled post-consumer polyester and 50 percent acrylic blend, cuffed and uncuffed respectively, so a resale program can offer a recycled-content option without changing its silhouette lineup.
Texture-forward buyers have several routes. The Cap America iK75 Waffle Beanie knits an acrylic or acrylic/polyester waffle texture without a cuff, while the Cap America iK70 Waffle Knit Cap with Cuff adds a solid color cuff to the same waffle weave. The Cap America iK55 Cable Knit Cap with Cuff pairs a classic cable knit with a cozy cuff, a pom, and a fleece-lined earband, and the Cap America iK56 Double Stripe Knit Cap with Ribbed Cuff knits crown stripes above a ribbed cuff and a solid heather pom. The Cap America iK57 Heavy Ribbed Knit Cap with Cuff alternates solid and duotone bands with a fleece-lined earband, and the Cap America iK59 Reflective Knit Cap with Cuff works poly blend reflective stripes into the crown over a heavy ribbed cuff for low-light visibility. The Cap America iK22 Knit Cap with Ribbed Cuff keeps things simple with a solid ribbed cuff and a fleece-lined earband, and the Cap America TK28R Ribbed Knit Beanie runs a full rib knit without a cuff at all. The Cap America iK37 Sustainable Cuffed Knit with Polylana Fiber pairs a ribbed cuffed design with a lower-impact fiber blend, and the Cap America ik95 Fleece Beanie switches construction entirely to a 100 percent poly micro fleece pull-on with an anti-pill finish.
Two premium tri-blend knits close the structured side of the wall. The Cap America iK8550 Premium Knit Cap with Cuff runs an ultra-soft tri-blend ribbed knit with a solid color cuff carrying a tonal CA shield, and the Cap America iK8552 Premium Waffle Knit Cap with Cuff pairs the same tri-blend cuff with a deep waffle-knit crown. Both give a program an elevated tri-blend feel without leaving the cuffed-knit format buyers already stock.
Camouflage carries into the knit wall as well. The Cap America iK40 Camouflage Fleece Beanie runs a licensed Realtree AP camouflage fleece pull-on, and three pattern knits, the Cap America RKUC9 Urban Camouflage Knit Beanie, the Cap America RKWC9 Woodland Camouflage Knit Beanie, and the Cap America RKTC9 Vintage Tiger Camouflage Knit Beanie, knit their respective patterns directly into acrylic/nylon/spandex beanies. Buyers assembling a full camo assortment should also check the Cap America Camo Caps grouping, where these same knit patterns sit beside camo trucker and structured cap builds.

Programs that split a wall between camo and solid knits usually anchor on the TKN24 wholesale page for the plain side and pull iK40, RKUC9, RKWC9, or RKTC9 for the pattern side, keeping one supplier and one reorder cycle for the whole knit section.
Cuff Embroidery and Decoration Planning for Knits
Cuff type decides the decoration plan more than any other spec on this page. Fold-up cuffs on the TKN24 and SKN24 give a decorator a flat, stable field that reads upright once the cuff is folded into wearing position, which is why they anchor most standard front-cuff embroidery programs. Ribbed cuffs on the iK22, iK56, and iK59 need a touch more stretch-friendly backing since the rib texture can pucker under dense stitching, and heavy ribbed builds like the iK57 benefit from lighter stitch density for the same reason.
Pattern crowns change the plan again. The RKB12, RKD12, RKL12, RKP12, RKF12, RKS12 and RKV9 all carry a knit-in graphic on the crown itself, so decorators typically move any added logo to the solid cuff rather than fighting the existing pattern for space. On the camo knits, iK40, RKUC9, RKWC9 and RKTC9, high-contrast thread, white, black, or a bright accent, keeps a logo legible against a busy printed or knit-in ground the same way it does on the camo caps in the wider Cap America Camo Caps line.
Waffle and cable textures, the iK75, iK70, and iK55, hoop a little differently than a flat rib because the surface has more depth; a light touch on hoop tension keeps the texture from flattening under the embroidery field. The two tri-blend premium knits, iK8550 and iK8552, already carry a tonal CA shield on the cuff, so most programs add only a small secondary mark rather than a full front design, similar to how factory-decorated pieces are handled elsewhere in the Cap America range.
Program Buying and Reorder Notes for the Knit Wall
Knit programs reorder more predictably than almost any other headwear category because construction rarely changes season to season. A buyer who lands on the TKN24 as a house cuffed knit can repeat the order by style number alone, and the same is true for the RKS9/RKS12 static pattern pair or the SKN24/SKN28 recycled pair, since both run the cuffed and uncuffed version of one build side by side. Pairing a cuffed style with its uncuffed twin, TKN24 with TKN28, RKS12 with RKS9, iK70 with iK75, SKN24 with SKN28, lets a program offer two silhouettes without adding a second supplier relationship or a second embroidery setup.
Shops that run knit programs alongside structured caps typically keep a Cap America trucker or performance style on the same order for warmer months; the Cap America Trucker Caps and Cap America Low Profile Caps collections cover those builds without leaving the brand. Reorders that lean seasonal, camo and reflective knits opening in fall, plain cuffed knits running through winter, tend to hold steady on style number and colorway name from one year to the next, which keeps embroidery files and planograms usable across seasons.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a cuffed knit cap and an uncuffed beanie in this range?
A cuffed style, such as the TKN24, folds a knit band at the base for a finished edge and a flat embroidery field. The uncuffed version, the TKN28 in that pair, drops the folded band for a slouchier, lower-profile fit while keeping the same base knit.
Which styles are best suited to cuff embroidery?
Fold-up cuff styles like the TKN24 and SKN24 hoop flattest for standard logo work. Ribbed cuffs on the iK22, iK56, and iK59 also take embroidery well with slightly lighter stitch density to avoid puckering the rib texture.
Do any beanies here carry licensed camouflage?
Yes. The iK40 runs a licensed Realtree AP camouflage fleece pull-on. The RKUC9, RKWC9, and RKTC9 knit urban, woodland, and vintage tiger camo patterns directly into the beanie rather than printing over a solid base.
What separates the recycled SKN24 and SKN28 from the standard TKN24 and TKN28?
Material composition. The SKN24 and SKN28 run a 50 percent recycled post-consumer polyester and 50 percent acrylic blend in the same cuffed and uncuffed formats as the TKN24 and TKN28, which use a standard acrylic pro rib knit.
Which style is reflective for low-light wear?
The iK59 Reflective Knit Cap with Cuff knits poly blend reflective stripes into the crown above a heavy ribbed cuff, giving crews and evening programs a visibility option within the same knit format as the rest of the wall.
Are any of these beanies made with a lower-impact fiber?
The iK37 Sustainable Cuffed Knit uses a Polylana fiber blend in a ribbed cuffed design, and the SKN24 and SKN28 use recycled post-consumer polyester, giving buyers two different routes to a lower-impact knit program.
How do the waffle and cable knit styles differ from the standard rib knits?
The iK75 and iK70 knit a waffle texture rather than a flat rib, cuffed or uncuffed. The iK55 goes further with a true cable knit pattern, a pom, and a fleece-lined earband for added warmth beyond a standard beanie.
What is the tonal CA shield mentioned on the premium knits?
The iK8550 and iK8552 premium tri-blend knits carry a tonal CA shield embroidered directly on the cuff at the factory, giving both styles a branded detail out of the box before any additional decoration is added.
Can pattern-knit crowns like the RKB12 or RKD12 still take an added logo?
Yes, though most programs place the added mark on the solid cuff rather than the patterned crown, since the knit-in bar, diamond, plaid, or snowflake design already occupies the crown field.
