Farmington 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 Farmington and instructions on how to create it.

My Farmington Pullover is a relaxed boat neck pullover that’ll ease you right into fall and looks great with everything. It combines a clean shoulder fit (thanks to the set-in sleeve construction) with a comfy a-line shape and 3/4 sleeves that can be made as roomy or snug as you like thanks to CustomFit.

Shown here in a long length, relaxed and oversized fits, and an a-line silhouette, it makes a great backdrop for a stunning yarn. I’ve chosen Fuse Fiber Studio Fuse Fingering in the color “Moorland”: A stunningly soft, gorgeously shaded 100% merino with a spectacular hand.

Like most CustomFit patterns, Farmington can be made in any combination of length, sleeve length, fit, and torso silhouette – so you can make your own any way you like it. (Photo credit Gale Zucker, 2019. Model credits to Maya and Josephine.)

I used Fuse Fiber Studio Fuse Fingering for this design, in the color “Moorland”. I used a US size 2 (2.75mm) needle to get 7.5 stitches per inch, but your mileage may vary.

At this gauge, to make a long a-line sweater 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 4 (4, 4, 4, 5, 5, 5, 6, 6, 7, 7, 8) hanks. (Straight-sided and shorter sweaters will use less yarn!)

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