The Belmont coat (named after Belmont Park, where the third leg of the Triple Crown is run) is a great mix of beauty and function. It’s intended to be worn with an ease of 6″ 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 I knit it at a gauge of 4.75 stitches, to give it a denser fabric; keep this in mind if you plan on substituting yarn.
