From pattern description:
“Close-fitting pullover with side seam shaping, asymmetrical neck shaping and one Fair Isle sleeve.”

From Vogue Knitting, Holiday 2006:
“No need to translate the drama that one striking sleeve provides. Galina Carroll designed the corresponding front inset in the same colorwork scheme and sewed it to the solid stockinette body, stitched in ‘Feeling’ from Lana Gatto/Needful Yarns. A crocheted scallop contrasts at neck, cuff and yoke.”
