Tips for a Shipshape Mini Cruise
Straight lines make this little ship look smart, so keep your tension consistent and block the flat pieces lightly before assembly. Embroider the portholes with evenly spaced French knots, and add the red stripe of the hull with a simple surface slip stitch. A tiny flag on top, made from a scrap of yarn wrapped around a knot, is the finishing touch that makes people smile.

Care Instructions
Hand wash your little cruise ship in cool water with mild detergent when needed, then press it gently in a towel and reshape the hull before air drying. Avoid machine washing, which can distort the tiny embroidered portholes. With simple care, this miniature souvenir will stay shipshape through many years of adventures.
