FEATURES: nostalgic and sweet, red Tunisian crochet base with yellow cross-stitched roses and rosebuds, cardigan front, wide sleeves loosely cinched at the cuff (elastic)
WEIGHT/STRUCTURE: light weight
FABRIC CONTENT: unknown for sure, likely acrylic
OTHER NOTES: Slightly asymmetrical in front (see photo how one side of fringe hangs a little lower). Pretty sure this one is true vintage age and it shows. The yarn is strong but it shows evidence of use and washing and wear, with some pilling/fuzzies/little lint captured in some stitches. Sometimes condition issues detract but I think in this case, it adds to the impression that you found this in your hippie great-aunt's attic trunk and I think that makes it even more special. That's just me! Don't buy this one if you want one that looks new and pristine.
SIZE: The following measurements are listed in inches and are taken with garment flat so please double the number where appropriate (waist, chest, sleeve width, etc) in order to get full circumference. I try my best to be accurate but please allow a little room for error.
Armpit to armpit/body width 23"
Total armspan 58"
Total top to bottom 39"
Shoulders free
FIT NOTES: These are designed to be boxy, slouchy, oversized, fits like a kimono so it should be loose. I generally recommend they be at least 6 inches bigger than your chest measures. It will be a closer fit on a bigger body and more oversized on a smaller body. Modeled on a 38-30-40" 5'5" US M/L body. Please measure your own clothes/body and compare to the numbers above to ensure a fit that works for you.
CARE: Cool, gentle cycle. Lay flat to dry or tumble dry on air. (Do not hang.)
