Grab These Labels to Go with Your Gift Knits

If you knit gifts for other people, you know it can sometimes be a gamble as to whether they can properly take care of whatever it is you are gifting them. That’s why superwash wool is such an amazing thing, but I digress.

For those who receive knit items but might not know how to take care of them properly, add these gift tags from Mama in a Stitch.

They indicate that a project was made with 100 percent love. They call for “special care” when washing and laying flat to dry.

Of course I would come right out and say it if your project needs to be hand washed (which I have done with handmade tags you can see at the bottom of this post), but they’re still really cute and great for when they really do just need to be careful with something that is machine washable. Or write in hand wash only to be more explicit.

Recently I shared a collection of Easter egg knitting patterns, and as we all know chicks are what comes out of eggs, so it’s only right to share some chick knitting patterns too. Chicks are perfect for spring decor even when it’s not Easter time, and they are so cute and fun to knit, too.

This fluffy chick from Sincerely Louise can also be worked in less fuzzy yarn if you’d rather. It’s worked flat and seamed so it’s a good one for newer knitters who might not be comfortable working little projects in the round. You can grab the pattern on Etsy.

This little chick from Fluff and Fuzz on Etsy looks like it’s still wearing part of its shell! There’s also an option without the white details, and you can knit these little hats as well. They’re worked in DK weight yarn. (She also has a super cute tiny egg shaped chick in a half shell that’s a free pattern on Ravelry.)

If you want ta chick that’s even more in an egg, this egg-shaped chick from Purl Soho may be what you’re looking for. It’s worked in super fine yarn so you can make a bunch of chicks with a skein or two of yarn, or use leftovers to change up the colors.

Alan Dart has a cute pattern that includes two halves of a broken egg and a chick that fits inside. It calls for DK weight yarn.

The spring chick pattern from Barbara Prime is a sweet little bird shape that you could make as other birds worked in different colors. The pattern doesn’t specify yarn weight, so use whatever yellow (or other color you like) yarn you have on hand to make birds of different sizes.

Make a cute, fuzzy, felted chick with the Chick Wobblers pattern from Cindy Pilon (available on Ravelry). These little chicks come in two sizes and have an “internal wobbler” so when you try to tip them over they wobble back up.
