This pattern is available on Ravelry.

The pullover with lace pattern and dropped, backward-shifted shoulders is worked entirely double stranded and top-down in one piece and starts at the accentuated shoulderline at the top of back part.

First, back part is worked down to the underarms, subsequently, the 2 front-halves are worked in opposite direction from back-shoulderline, after which they are joined together at the base of the neck opening.Subsequently, front and back are joined together at the underarms and then the body is continued in the round.

The sleeves are knitted onto pullover and are also worked in the round, the neckline border is knitted on afterwards.

Body and sleeve length can be adjusted individually, in that case, more material may be needed.
