I am so excited to be participating in this year’s Hats Off to Summer Blog Hop.

Let’s dive in!

Kami Jones has shared a crochet pattern review of the Dahlia Sun Hat, and I just love the blue she picked paired with that thin white edging. It’s so bold and yet so classic.

Candace of T & C Crafters has shared a free crochet pattern for the Criss Cross Bucket Hat. The rainbow colorway is so fun and cute! There are 5 sizes included!

Emily of Crochet Aweigh has shared a free crochet pattern for the Citrus Grove Bucket Hat, and I just LOVE all of the details! It screams Florida and it screams Summer. It’s been so fun watching it all come together on Instagram first with the lemon square, then the orange square and finally the assembly.

Free Printable Crochet Care Instruction Tags

Size & Format Details

These cute printable crochet care instruction tags will print on a 8 1/2″ x 11″ paper (the standard paper size) and available in PDF format. There are 9 to a page, and each page has 3 of each design. Use the space at the bottom to sign your name, or add any additional details.

For printing at a local print shop or photo-printing company such as CVS, Walgreens, Costco, UPS, Fedex, Office Depot, etc, you will select a Document option, and then choose a your desired paper weight.

What Weight Paper Should I use to Print Printable tags?

I recommend printing onto standard letter sized 8 1/2″ x 11″ cardstock as regular paper is quite thin, may curl, and can make the printable appear to have a gray tinge.

Medium weight 65 lb to 80 lb cardstock is home printer friendly, and easily available in packs including in craft stores like JoAnn and Michaels.

Heavy weight 110 lb cardstock is not so home friendly, but might be a better choice if working with a local printer or printing company. To print at home, you most likely will have to manually feed this heavy weight paper so can be a bit more finicky.

Can I sell these printable tags if I print it myself?

Yes! You can print your own, and sell the physical printable either online or in person. You cannot sell, share, copy and paste or claim my digital files as your own – that would be copyright infringement and stealing. You also must take your own photos for your listings – you cannot use my photos to sell your own products.

I love printable tags! How can I share these printable tags?

If you would like to share these printable tags, you can share the link to this post so others can find it for themselves, visit and print as they choose, pin the main photo of this post and/or you may print your own, and then photograph and share your own personal photos sharing the link to this post should other’s inquire. Do not share any direct links to the PDFs – this is illegally sharing and stealing.

Once you print your tag pages out, cut either just inside or just outside the outer black lines – you can do so with scissors, but my favorite way is with a paper trimmer – then hole punch the top hole, and tie onto your hat with twine or ribbon. If you’ve chosen a lighter weight paper, you may opt for adding reinforcement stickers.

Yarn Giveaway

One winner will get $30 to spend on yarn, notions and/or boutique items from the Yarn Crafts & Coffee Shop! The yarn shown in the photo is Berroco Seaspun.

I am running this giveaway together with Cre8tion Crochet, T & C Crafters and Crochet Aweigh. It will appear on each of our blogs, but there will be only 1 winner.

Special Note: I have two cats. They do not mingle with my yarn, but you may find cat hairs on the yarn you receive – it’s hard to avoid.

International Makers: If you are outside the US, you can still enter to win. A digital prize may be supplemented for the yarn depending on shipping rate and duties.

I included several ways to enter (through the Rafflecopter below). To be entered in the giveaway, you only need to complete one task, but the more you do, the better your chances. Some of them you can come back and do again once a day! Last time to enter will be Sunday 06/30/24 at 11:59pm EST.
