Willowbrook is available as a custom-gauge, custom-size pattern via my CustomFit pattern generator. Upon purchase, you’ll receive a credit for a custom version of Willowbrook and instructions on how to create it.

The Willowbrook Pullover is a relaxed, easy to wear tunic that goes perfectly with your favorite skinny jeans. Willowbrook combines a no-fuss A-line shape with a generous turtleneck, long sleeves, and notched ribbing detail at the hem. Like many CustomFit patterns, Willowbrook is available in any silhouette, fit, and sleeve length combination you like. Shown in a tunic length, A-line silhouette and long sleeves here, Willowbrook looks smashing in your favorite drapey yarn.

I’ve shown it here worked in Fibre Company Acadia – a gorgeous tweedy blend of merino, baby alpaca, and silk. This yarn is soft as anything and feels glorious cozied up against your neck, and has a lovely fluid hand for an a-line silhouette.

Willowbrook can be made in any of CustomFit’s silhouettes and lengths, though – so you can make your own any way you like it. (Photo credit Gale Zucker, 2019. Model credit Maya J)

I used Fibre Company Acadia for this design, at a gauge of 22 stitches and 32 rows to 4” (10 cm). I used a US size 5 (3.75mm) needle to obtain this gauge, but your mileage may vary. Shown in “Cranberry”.

At this gauge, to make an a-line tunic as shown here, a standard size 30 (32, 34, 36, 38, 40, 42, 44, 48, 52, 56, 60)’’ / 76 (81.5, 86.5, 91.5, 96.5, 101.5, 106.5, 112, 122, 132, 142, 152.5) cm a-line tunic will use approximately 8 (8, 9, 9, 10, 10, 13, 13, 13, 14, 15, 17) hanks. (Straight-sided and shorter sweaters will use less yarn!)

If you’re not using Acadia, or you’re getting a different gauge, I strongly recommend the app Stashbot by Hannah Fettig for yardage estimations.
