It is perfect for twirling, and warm enough to be a fall and spring coat.
You can find the pattern here. I used three balls of Shetland chunky in violet and size 10 needles.
I did make an alteration to the collar because I was running out of yarn, I just picked up and knit four rows of seed stitch.
You can see in some of the pictures the different "textures" of my knitting. When I knit something in rows using st stitch, then join into the round, my stitches are very different. Even after blocking, the stitches did not even out. If anyone has any suggestions, I would love to hear them.

You simply astound me with all of your projects! Downright inspirational.
Oh how cute - how do you get everything done? You must be very, very organized. I'm thinking I need one for Jessie and my niece - this is way too adorable.

Sooooo cute! And what a great, vibrant color! I have the same tension issues when I knit in stockinette -- my problem is my purl stitches, which are much looser than my knits. I try to hold the yarn a little tighter when I purl, but it's still not entirely even. Sorry, that wasn't very helpful. I don't think your stockinette looks bad at all though!
WOW that is just toooo cute and the model is darling and very sweet.
