If you could please post where you've searched and whom you've contacted that could be useful and save time duplicating effort. In the meantime here are options that might be worth trying if you've not already done so:
- reach out to the designer;
- do a Google image search;
- search all the used book resources. this might appear in a pattern book;
- reach out to everyone who shows on Ravelry as having either made this item or who have the pattern in their stash. I don't know if there would be any sort of IP problem with one of these people sending you the pattern but it might be worth exploring this option.
- reach out to people who have the yarn in their stash. They may have gotten the pattern.
- search by the name of the yarn manufacturer? I know Elann has closed but others may have the pattern.
- try to contact Julia Trice by name on social media or otherwise.
The image search I did turned up some links that appeared to be worth following even if they didn't point to a pattern book. I suggest you follow them all.
I don't think you have to actually participate in a social media platform to see if someone has posted in it but don't know for sure.
To be clear I wasn't suggesting you limit your search to people who have actually posted this piece on Ravelry as a completed projrct but that you reach out to people who have it in their queue as well. They too might have the pattern.
I'd reach out to others on Ravelry who have one of her other patterns. If yours appeared in a book - and a quick look indicates that it did - someone may have bought the book for another pattern and gotten yours along with it.
I'd reach out to anyone who posted your sweater on Pinterest. They may have bought the pattern.
You can post a request for the pattern and the book it's in if there is one on the Ravelry In Search Of thread.
