I’ve got as far as I can with the Cargo trousers as I need buttons and elastic and have neither, so I’ve started on the matching tunic instead. It’s a Knitting Pure and Simple pattern (number 211 to be precise) and I’d really recommend them if you fancy knitting something top down but don’t quite have the confidence to go it alone, although Diane’s article is also really helpful if you want to try it and has a photo of a monkey.
And, yes, it is a tunic, even though it looks like the beginnings of a knitted bra in the photo, or a pair of cat ears. 
I had to stop knitting on the tunic a couple of days ago because I didn’t have the right size circular needle. This is mostly my fault because I decided a few weeks ago to sell on my set of Denise Interchangeables. I bought these as an investment instead of buying several separate circular needles. But I just didn’t like knitting with them. The cords are too thick and the needles too sticky. I have tried other interchangeable sets, but I can’t get along with the screw fittings and I think that truly, I’m happiest when using Addi Turbos or Bamboo (or KnitPicks for Magic Looping) and I’d rather buy a needle as and when I need it from now own.
I forgot to mention the yarn I’m using for both the trousers and the tunic. It’s Rowan All Seasons Cotton, which I’ve had in my stash for ages and can’t even remember why I bought it now, but I have plenty for a little matching baby set, so I can’t complain. It’s interesting to knit with as it has the squishyness of a wool yarn without the stretch. Many years ago I knitted smallest person a very simple Debbie Bliss jumper with it and it pilled terribly, but looking at the ball band, I might have perhaps tumble dried it by mistake/being ignorant, so that wouldn’t have helped. Interestingly, the description on the Rowan website say it’s acrylic microfibre, not just acrylic like the lot I have. I wonder whether it feels or knits differently now.
