I think a soft roll collar top would be great under this with the wool trousers for Autumn, add a crazy print scarf and brown chelsea boots, and would be very comfortable.
I have some funny shaped scraps left, plus a little bit of the ribbing used for the front band, so might see if I can cut a knit beany hat or some other fun things!
This was made from the cardigan jacket in my old favourite New Look 6735. I added 7 inches (plus the 1.5" hem) to the length to get the knee length cardigan coat look I was after.

What a great idea! This worked out so well that it looks like RTW! Wonderful job!
VERY nice, Ruthie! I have that same pattern and have only used the top pattern. Need to rethink using the cardigan!
That is such a great idea! It looks comfortable and stylish.
Looks very professionally done - what a good idea to use a throw - this looks like an extremely useful piece - it would look good belted as well.
What a brilliant idea! It looks great.
Your pretty cardigan just shows that fabric doesn't have to come from a fabric store!
Beautifully made, and it will be a wonderful comfy and stylish addition to your wardrobe! Brilliant that you used a throw for your fabric, I would never thought it!
What a clever idea! I have that pattern and have never used it. Perhaps I should start looking for a throw :)
great looking jacket - you should check out the Burda magazine (either the last one or the one before) they have a great sweater pattern using ribbed fabric (if you want to do another)
