White hand knit baby cape with hood. There is a white pom pom hanging off of the hood, as well as on the ties that ties the cape in the front. The design on the cape is upward facing half circles that connect at their corners, and leave holes where they don't connect. The edge of the cape is cream colored, and it has a design of repeated peaks, except on the hood. The hood of the cape has more of a diamond design, with blank areas betweeen the diamonds.
