Summary
A knitted grey child's cardigan with two pockets. It is decorated with a green and red stripe around the collar, the front opening, the bottom of the cardigan, the bottom of the sleeves and the top of the two pockets. It fastens with five large metal buttons engraved with a picture of a queen within a diamond. An inscription is around the edge. One side of the opening has a green ribbon sewn into it. This emerges from the top and bottom buttons. A label inside the collar gives the details that it is made in Austria and has an illustration of a smiling boy and girl.
