Umbilical Cord Hat
A friend is having a baby very soon so I knitted this little hat and sent it in the mail for her. It's from the Umbilical Cord Hat pattern published in Stitch 'n Bitch
, page 188.I used some leftover Debbie Bliss Cashmerino Aran. I started with less than a skein and still had a bit leftover after the project was done.
Is it a faux pas to include care instructions with a gift like this? The yarn I used is a cashmere blend, and I would hate for them to put it through the dryer.
This is the second gift I knitted for an expectant mom. By the way, my cousin Lissa gave birth to a baby girl last week. Yipee!!!

I don't think it was wrong to include care instructions, it's much worse to ruin the gift because one does not know how to care for it.

Thank you, Mina! I did wind up letting them know not to put the hat through the dryer. I haven't heard yet after that. They must be very busy with the newborn. :D
