Blue Crochet Infant Set Crocheted Hat, Sweater and felt type baby shoes with white shoelaces all in a baby blue color for infant.

Context

Per Richard Ardemagni: These garments were given to my mother Nettie Mae Ardemagni by the Bastianelli Sisters in order for my mother to bring me home from the hospital when I was born - dressed in fine homemade baby clothes. These infant clothes were cherished by my mother and kept in a cedar chest until she passed in 1999, then they were passed on to me Richard (Rick) Ardemagni.
