This whimsical wrap draws inspiration from both the children’s pixie hooded coats of the ‘40s and ‘50s and the effortlessly elegant women’s cloaks of the ‘70s. One scarf length is worked longer than the other so it can be wrapped loosely around the wearer’s neck and shoulders while still hanging evenly, allowing her to warm her hands in the clever diagonal mitten pockets.
