Exactly like Folkwear 207, sized down for children. It would probably work well for petites, too. It goes together just like the adult size, so all the same comments apply — thick fabric can be difficult to work with, hood can look funny, etc. Even if you don’t like the hood up, I suggest making it, because it creates an over cape/caplet effect when worn down instead up up as a hood. That can be particularly attractive if you’re using unusual or contrasting lining. The cape I made for my daughter is made with hood sewn into the collar instead of as a separate button-on element.
