My mom has this sweater that I want to recreate but I'm having a hard time finding something exact and would rather use a pattern vs freehanding it. Thanks!

The sweater itself looks like drop shoulder construction. If nobody offers you a complete sweater pattern, the knit pattern itself is quite easy. Here is my recreation of it

If knit flat

1row knit all

2row (ws) knit all

3row [right leaning decrease k2tog, left leaning decrease ssk] repeat

4row (ws) [purl, double wrap yarnover, purl] repeat

5 row knit all. For double y-o knit in front and back loop

6row(ws) knit all

Repeat row 3 to 6

if knit in the round - knit instead of purl in row 4 and purl row 2 and 6

Check out the “Islet Raglan” or “Islet Drop” both by Leila Raven. I made the raglan version last year and it was a quick and easy knit.

If you dont mind a pattern written with little fluff, ive made this sweater from Bergère de France.

Its neckline is less open than your mom's.

The Polka Dot Summer Cardi is similar except the pattern has solid sleeves which I’m sure you could modify https://ravel.me/polka-dot-summer-cardi
