Bib

The bib for a baby is entirely crocheted with fine cotton thread. It is designed so that the lower decorative pentagram shape extends into two side straps that tie behind the baby’s neck. The centre of the pentagram and the parts near the face are crafted with a dense stitch, while the edges are adorned with mesh-like stitches.

The bib 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.
