Sure thing!
Well, for the main sweater I went to some thrift stores to find a yellow seater with had no writing or pictures on it. This one I found at goodwill. However if you'd be willing to spend a little more money I think you could possibly find one online.
For the brick pattern I used greenish acrylic paint (but I would recommend a more orange/gold color). Then I mixed the paint with some acrylic-to-fabric paint stuff. In hindsight I would suggest going the easier route of finding fabric paints.
To make the pattern I laid out the sweater on a big flat table and placed the sleeves so they were lined up with the torso section. Then I used a long ruler to paint a straight line across the sleeves and torso below the halfway point of the sweater. I then made three more lines about an inch and a half apart. For the bricks I more or less just kinda guessed for the placement starting with the first row placing a line about 3-4 inches apart. Then for the next row painting a line between the lines above it. (I'm not sure if that makes sense but I think the picture kinda shows what I mean.) once the front side was done, I just repeated the process on the backside.
Then there's the bow, which is the easiest part so that's why it's last. For me I just looked up on the Internet the style of bow that I wanted and followed the instructions. I don't have the instructions I used but I know I used some fabric I had lying around to make it. How you want to attach it depends on if you plan on washing it. It you don't, hot glue or sewing it on might be the best. If you do want to wash it I recommend attaching the bow to a safety pin and attaching it. If you put the whole thing in the washer with the bow it could rip it off.
And that's what I did to make mine! I hoped this helped you and if you do make it please show me a picture of it!
