An adorable child-sized version of my Woodland Wanderer Mantle, the Wee Wanderer is a combination hood and cowl, perfect for winter weather play and activities. The garment slips over the head and the hood can be worn up or down. Completed with a large button for fastening the front of the hood and large teddy bear ears for an added touch of whimsy and lightheartedness.
