The gusset-thing shaping the foot was fascinating. With all the knitting, the needles must have been tiny, even allowing for shrinkage and fulling. The one knitted hat looks like fabric, and the child's vest/shirt/jumper was knitted in very small even rows of plain/purl - sorry, having a senior moment and cannot remember then name of the stitch!
