I know that I have seen many other sweater patterns similar to this one:

I am especially interested in free patterns. I vaguely recall seeing a free pattern that was similar to this one, but I cannot recall where I saw it. If anyone has a link to similar sweater patterns - especially free ones, I would really appreciate it. I am interested in patterns that are as seamless as possible. I know that with a sweater like this it might not be possible to be completely seamless, but if the sleeves were in the round that would be great.
Thanks to those who respond with patterns or constructive ideas about how I can make my own version of this sweater.
