Središnji sadržaj
The bonnet for a newborn is made from fine cotton thread and knitted with a rich floral decoration, making it breathable. A braided tie for fastening is threaded through the knitted fabric. The edge of the bonnet is made using crochet technique. The design of the bonnet covers the baby’s ears and ties under the chin. At the crown of the head, the bonnet finishes by reducing the knitted fabric, forming a diamond shape.
The bonnet 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.
