One of those pieces that had clearly been made with real skill and real time: a fitted circular yoke worked from the neck down, a two-button front finished with a tiny rosette of pink satin and lace, and popcorn stitch carried evenly across the whole body and both sleeves without a dropped row anywhere.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe yoke is worked in rounds from the neckline, each row a fraction wider than the last until it opens into the fuller, flared body below, which is designed to splay rather than sit close. Both long sleeves repeat the same popcorn stitch as the body, finished at the cuff in the same texture rather than a plain rib. The front closes with two plastic buttons, and a small rosette of pink satin ribbon and lace sits fixed just beside them, the one spot of colour on the whole garment. Every edge, front, hem and cuff, is finished in a fine scalloped picot border, worked by hand rather than left raw.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"caitiedid","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44194344730758,"sku":null,"price":68.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0657\/5960\/8966\/files\/DSC_4218.jpg?v=1785304245","url":"https:\/\/checkout.caitiedid.shop\/products\/lambs-ear-1940s-60s-crochet-bobble-baby-cardigan","provider":"caitiedid","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
