Some knitting projects are made for practical reasons, others just because they are fun. These reflex tags are both. The easiest ones are knitted in garter stitch, and the more complicated ones are knitted in stockinette in the round. The tags in stockinette can be embroidered with motifs and filled with a little filling such as scrap yarn or batting to give them some volume. I included 3 different shapes - a circle, a triangle and a heart. I made the entire alphabet in a chart to embroider on to distinguish them from each other. I also included some other motifs and explanations on how to make a little more out of these shapes. There are some designs of birds, a Jack O Lantern, ninja eyes and 2 emojis. The tags can be attached to a bag or on the inside of a pocket and taken out when needed. I have knitted most of them in a reflex yarn, but it was not possible to get green in this yarn so I also bought a reflex thread that can be used with any yarn.
