This pattern can be found in issue 10 of Laine Magazine.

Skog is a light-weight, perfectly oversized, turtleneck sweater with minimal use of the colourwork pattern on the sleeves. The silhouette is deceptively simple – there is a lot of subtle shaping happening. The pullover body is worked circularly from the hem to underarms, then divided for front and back and worked flat. The sleeves are worked circularly from cuff to underarm, then the sleeve cap is worked flat to achieve the most flattering fit. The pieces are sewn together using mattress stitch. Finally, the collar is picked up from bound-off neckline stitches and worked circularly.
