The trees are a classic gansey stitch pattern. The stars in the top row are from The New Knitting Stitch Library: Over 300 Traditional and Innovative Stitch Patterns Illustrated in Color and Explained with Easy-to-Follow Charts

I've reached the point where the circular knitting ends.
The back is still on the needle, the front is on a heavy cotton yarn. I can't knit anymore until I figure out what stitch patterns will be on the top front and top back.
The entire sweater is constructed by picking up stitches. No seams except the three needle bind off on the shoulders.
The gussets are half knit. The gusset stitches are on hold until the sleeve stitches are picked up. Then the decrease half of the gusset will be knit as part of the sleeve.
Pattern: Winging it for now. Unofficially naming it the Red X Sweater.
Yarn: Knitpicks Cotlin. 70% Tanguis Cotton, 30% Linen. DK weight.
Color: Moroccan Red.
Needles: Options #3.
Gauge: 6 stitches/inch, 8.5 rows/inch in pattern.

Gorgeous; I love that stitch pattern!
Nice! I really love stitch patterns on sweaters. Yours is beautiful!
Very very pretty!
Gorgeous patterns you've selected! Very professional looking...
Question about the side seam or non-seam. Have you included a purl stitch as a mock seam? Nice!!
Lovely crispness to your patterns...and that red is such a welcome color this time of year. Have fun hunting for the next set of motifs!
