Little Red Riding Hood meets the east coast. Great for the rain, drizzle, and fog, this hooded poncho is a must-have for little explorers! The hood is functional, giving kids the option to get outside even when the sun hides away. The cable along the bottom edge is a nod to the Celtic heritage and adds visual interest as well as a traditional element to this whimsical knit.
