Have you seen the matinee coat in the Debbie Bliss Baby Cashmerino book? I made it a while back, and it is beautiful. I substituted a recycled yarn, but I have used the cashmerino as well, and it is one of my favourites.

You should definitely check out Debbie Bliss, she has the cutest patterns. I have her Baby Knits for Beginners book, and there are lots of cute and simple patterns. I'm making a baby dress from that book now.
