Središnji sadržaj
The shirt for a newborn is crocheted with fine linen thread, featuring an intricate pattern using the seed stitch. The seams on the vest are not visible, creating the appearance of a seamless piece, achieved through skilful crocheting techniques that fill in the spaces between the parts making up the item. The collar, as well as the edges, are made with a dense stitch leaving spaces for a tying ribbon. This type of shirt was crafted for wearing in hot weather or summer. The shirt fastens at the front, and a swaddle is worn with such outfits.
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.
