Don’t you think it’s a great idea to include a care tag with the next handmade gift you’ll be giving? After all that time and effort, it certainly makes sense to let the recipient know how to care for their gift. Be it sewn, knitted, crocheted, or anything else that might require washing. And even a humorous care tag would be great too for any kind of hand crafted gift.
In retrospect I should have included an extra button on the card, along with the yarn scraps (for the mending that we hope won’t ever be necessary!) okay, next time! You can certainly keep it simple like I did—a piece of cereal box cardboard, the care instructions taken from the wrapper on your skein of yarn, and a nice supply of yarn in the colors you used.
That’s it. Plus I think it adds a special touch to your gift, don’t you? I’ll be back later to show the whole sweater you see here, and in case you missed the post about crocheting button covers, you can find that here, you’ll never stress over the buttons again, since these are perfect! See you soon!
