Cape
Women did not wear coats in winter. They wore woolen capes that could be short, as shown here, or long. Hood
If a cape did not have an attached hood, a woman would have a separate one. She would wear it over her cap. Mittens
Mittens were homemade from wool yarn spun and knitted by a female family member. Basket
Baskets served many functions. This one is being used as a purse. See Also...
