Crochet Gift Tags






Does it surprise you that I have a change in plans?  Instead of the bottle rings, I'm making gift tags.

I write and eat with my left hand but do everything else with my right hand.  I thought I would try and crochet with both my right hand and my left hand today.  Talk about awkward, but I like the results of not turning my work.

Give it a try!

I did something simple, as you can see from the little gift tag above.  I also found it easier to embroidery on the yarn.

Supplies:

Worsted Yarn in colors of your choice
F Hook

Abbreviations:

sl - slip stitch
ch - chain
sc - single crochet

This is written in American Standard Terms

You can sell the products made from this pattern.  All I ask is that you link back to this post.

Here we go:

Ch 12
sc with your right hand into each ch across, ch 1
change hands and with your left hand sc into each previous row sc.
Continue the process above until you have completed 7 rows.
sc around the border of the gift tag with the exception of the corners, I did 2 sc in each corner around.

Attach white in one corner and ch 20, sl into the same sl of starting chain, fasten off and weave in ends.

You can embroidery what every you like on the tag.

Embellish with buttons, charms, whatever suits your fancy.

I placed two tree buttons that my Daughter gave me years ago.

I might just have to dig in my stash and find some snowflakes!!!

Have a Joyous Holiday and see you on Thursday!!!

Love, Peace and Joy,
