The cables are what make this: they run up each front panel and along the sleeves, a proper display of skill packed into a very small garment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo label, 1970s to 1980s. You do not arrive at cables without practice. They require counting and attention and the ability to hold stitches on a needle while you work others: a technique that takes time to learn and longer to execute neatly. Whoever knitted this was confident enough to add them to a piece about 25cm long, for a baby who would grow out of it in months. That is the particular love of a handknitted baby garment. The pastel nursery palette dates this warmly and precisely to its decade; the V-neck and small pink buttons are the finishing details of someone who knew exactly what they were making.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe kind of cardigan that a grandmother knitted during the evenings, with a particular baby in mind.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"caitiedid","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44084095713414,"sku":null,"price":105.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0657\/5960\/8966\/files\/DSC_2708.jpg?v=1782125598","url":"https:\/\/checkout.caitiedid.shop\/products\/vintage-hand-knitted-cable-baby-cardigan-pastel-stripe-1970s-80s","provider":"caitiedid","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
