Sew pocket on the front and tab on the back, then attach buttons.
Care Instructions
This sweater and beanie will have been knitted with skill, pride and love. To maintain its appearance it is important that the care instructions on the wool labels are followed carefully. Hand washing really does only take a couple of minutes! It is also a good idea to keep a small amount of the wool used in a safe place for any future repairs. We have also enclosed an extra button which can be sewn inside - just in case!
