središnji sadržaj
The winter shirt for a baby is knitted with cotton thread, entirely crafted through alternating knit and purl stitches to create an elastic effect. The sleeves are joined with a decorative stitch, and the collar is made with a decorative crochet edge. The shirt was worn with a back closure, suitable for babies who can already sit or crawl. The front and back pieces are connected by extending the front piece over the baby’s shoulder area to create a deeper neckline at the front. A woven strip is threaded through the fabric of the collar.
The shirt is part of the contents of the box labelled: This crocheted or knitted item is handmade by our late grandmother Fagioni. It was used as a baby wrap for Father when he was little in 1936.
