Default Light n Lofty coat?

Anybody know of a pattern for a coat-sweater, preferably with a hood, that is
crocheted, in a "plus" size, using Light 'n'Lofty yarn?

This stuff was easy enough to crochet with, but nasty to knit with, as it
sticks to my wooden needles and won't slide at all.

I already made a wide, long scarf with it, and it is lovely for keeping me
warm.

But, I'd love a coat-sweater made of it. Help??

Look at Lion Brand yarns website (www.lionbrand.com) for the "Flattering
Jacket" pattern; Homespun yarn is very similar to Light n Lofty. This
pattern doesn't have a hood, but it would be a good start.

Thanks, everybody. The Light and Lofty is thicker than the Homespun. I tried
making the "flattering sweater" out of both, and even using the Homespun, it
just boggles me. However, at the LYS today, I found a nice sweater coat
pattern today, so will pick it up at another time.
