THIS CROCHET BABY SWEATER AND MATCHING CAP WAS HAND MADE BY MY MOTHER BACK IN THE EARLY 80'S. IT IS I BELIEVE IT TO BE THE GRANNY SQUARE DESIGN. THE MAIN COLOR IS BRIGHT PINK WITH CREAM COLORED INSET ON THE CORNERS OF THOSE GRANNY SQUARES. THE SWEATER AND CAP BOTH HAVE BRIGHT YELLOW RIBBONS TO TIE AND CLOSE IT UP TO FIT BETTER. THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THIS SET ... NOT LOOSE IN STITCHINGS, NO HOLES, NOT STRETCHED OUT. I DONT THINK IT WAS EVEN WORN. THIS OUTFIT HAS BEEN IN STORAGE FOR MANY YEARS AN MIGHT NEED A GOOD SOAKING.
THE SWEATER MEASURES 10 1/2 INCHES ACROSS THROUGH THE UNDERARM AREA. 10 INCHES LONG FROM THE TOP WERE THE YELLOW RIBBON IS ATTACHED TO THE CHIN AREA. THE SLEEVES MEASURE 6 1/4 INCHES FROM THE UNDERARM AREA TO THE CUFF...OR 9 INCHES FROM THE COLLAR AREA TO THE BOTTOM OF THE CUFF.
THE GRANNY SQUARE CAP IS 3 SIDED. IT WAS CROCHET WITH ONE LONG PIECE AND THE BACK OF IT WAS CROCHET LONGER TO FIT IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD AREA. IT WILL FORM AROUND THE BABIES HEAD WITH THE BACK BEING FLAT..(hard to explain). THE CAP MEASURES 15 INCHES WIDE (laying on a flat surface and not being pulled tight) x 8 INCHES ... FROM THE YELLOW RIBBONS AT THE BOTTOM TO THE MIDDLE OF THE CAP. THE BACK FLAP MEASURES 5 INCHES WIDE X 4 1/2 INCHES TALL.
BOTH PIECES ARE NOT SEWN TOGETHER WITH A MACHINE. THE PIECES ARE TIED TOGETHER WITH YARN PIECES TO BE TACKED DOWN.
