This child’s winter hood is quilted is a sweet heart motif. Hearts circle the brim and center the back of the crown, while scallops fill the bavolet and a double circle motif finish the brim. The green silk taffeta is nearly tissue taffeta soft. While not being overly dry, it has numerous wear spots from storage the pink interior is a medium weight solid cotton.
Construction deviates from the most common brim, crown, and bavolet by using a two piece crown considting of a central horseshoe shape and a crescent arch connecting it to the brim. This creates a nicely shaped crown with less bulk. This also shows off the quilted hearts in the back.

Left: Center back crown in a quasi-horseshoe shape with quilted hearts. Right: The crescent arch crown piece creates a comfortably rounded shape to the crown.
Green silk ribbon with a picot edge is used for the ties and as trim around the brim where it is box pleated. I suspect the pleating was originally intended to lay flat rather than folded forward based on the threads that become visible when it is folded forward.
While most quilted winter hoods are worked with stripes or diamonds, some are made with more fanciful motifs. This hood is beautifully worked with hearts on the brim and scallops on the bavolet.
The interior has a pale pink cotton which is notably heavier in comparison to the nearly tissue weight silk taffeta. Both green ribbon ties are intact and show how they were originally attached.
