How to Care for Crochet Baby Clothes
To keep your handmade crochet baby dress looking fresh and beautiful:
- Wash gently in cold or lukewarm water using a mild detergent
- Avoid wringing or twisting — press out water using a towel
- Lay flat to dry to maintain shape and avoid stretching
- Avoid bleach or harsh chemicals
- Store folded, not hung, to prevent stretching the stitches
Bonus tip: Always check the yarn label for care instructions specific to your chosen yarn.
