Look how charming these tags are!  Kym a tCobberson and Company has created the tags and offers a way for us to print them off free!  I’ve written about tags before, but this is the first free printed crochet tag with a simple, sweet graphic that I’ve seen.

A huge plus here is that Kim has even created a way that we can add our own ‘care instructions’ to the tag.  That’s a really helpful option.  I can think of a lot of ways to use Kym’s tags.  I like the way she has photographed them as wrapper labels.  They could also be used to create a business card shape or a greeting card size.  Printed on brown kraft paper as shown adds to the handmade feel, but a more sophisticated look can be created by choosing different paper.

Any way you use these labels, you’ll be glad to have a batch of them on hand.  They’re readily available to print on demand with the Pdf that Kym offers.  Thanks, Kym!

    Look on ETSY there are a number of places that do labels and are very reasonable in price. I’ve made some they just aren’t real professional looking using Iron on transfers on Ribbon. It works just not my favorite. Good luck

Lightweight Lacy Crochet Tee Pattern That’s Perfect for Layering

Some crochet garments look beautiful on the hanger but feel awkward to wear. This Lacy Crochet Tee from Lana Grossa is not one of those pieces. It’s light, breathable, and very much designed to be worn — the kind of handmade top that slips easily into your everyday wardrobe without feeling “too precious.”

What immediately stands out is the openness of the stitch pattern. It has that airy, lacy feel that works so well for warmer weather or for layering over a tank or dress. This isn’t a heavy, structured garment; it’s soft and fluid, with just enough texture to make it interesting while still letting the yarn shine.

From a making point of view, this tee is a really enjoyable project if you like crochet that feels calm and rhythmic. The lace pattern keeps your hands engaged without constant counting or frustration, which makes it perfect for evening crochet or quiet weekend sessions. It’s also very satisfying watching the fabric grow — those lacy stitches really show progress quickly.

Skill-wise, this one is best suited to confident beginners moving into intermediate crochet. You don’t need advanced shaping skills, but being comfortable with stitch patterns and keeping even tension will make the process much more enjoyable. If you’ve been wanting to dip your toe into wearable crochet without tackling a full sweater, this is a great place to start.

What I really appreciate about this pattern is how versatile it is. Change the colour and fibre and it can feel casual and beachy or clean and modern. It’s the kind of tee you’ll reach for again and again, especially when you want something handmade that still feels light and effortless.

If you enjoy crochet garments that are wearable, practical, and quietly stylish, this lacy tee is a lovely pattern to have in your collection.
