This is magic
What's so magical? Its perfect top-down seamlessness. Moreover, look at the shoulder! (Mine is a little wonkier than this one, but one can dream.) The pattern is Slanted Sleeven by Ankestrick on Ravelry. It's a contiguous pattern - contiguous knitting is a technique where you knit the back, front and shoulder/sleeve cap seamlessly and top-down. Some contiguous patterns aim at a sleeve that mimics a set-in style but this one looks more like a classic seamed knitted shoulder. I think it's brilliant.
I'm making my cardigan with ColourMart yarns - 100% alpaca held together with a cashmere/cotton lace weight to get a deeper, richer colour (which is impossible to photograph accurately) and the right gauge. Once the yarn is washed after knitting, it fluffs up and the knitting evens out beautifully.
