središnji sadržaj
The crocheted vest for a newborn is made with fine cotton thread. The pattern features rich and intricate openwork, defining its sole purpose for summer wear. Various stitches alternate throughout the fabric of the shirt, forming a mesh-like structure. The Venetian stitch is quite prevalent, making the vest almost entirely lace-like. Additionally, it is quite worn, damaged, and missing one sleeve.
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.
