Basix Belmont Top-Down Coat is a great mix of beauty and function. This piece is intended to be worn with an ease of six inches in the bust, so there’s room to layer it over another sweater if you choose. The recommended yarn calls for a gauge of 3.5 stitches to the inch, but this garment is knit at a gauge of 4.75 stitches, to give it a denser fabric; keep this in mind if you plan on substituting yarn.
