My sister knitted this cardigan and she no longer has the pattern. I would love to make this for myself, does anyone know what pattern it is?

It is lovely. Certainly within my color wheelhouse. What is it you like most about it? Can you tell or does she remember it the sweater was steeked? If you can't tell or she doesn't remember could you provide wrong side photos of the sleeve seams and button bands.
I think It appears to be a standard set in sleeve crew neck cardigan with a few bands added of simple color-work, slipped stitch patterns and yoke bands in a Greek key pattern. The main yarn is a variegated yarn with cream or medium blue (pickup from the color in variegated) used as the contrast color in the color-work. It would be fairly easy to add these elements into a basic cardigan pattern.
I'ld be happy to help figure out the color-work if you are unable to find the exact pattern.
It reminds me a bit of Elizabeth Zimmerman's 3 in one sweater, which is based on her EPS system.

Elizabeth Zimmermann designed this sweater as she designed so many of them--knit with your chosen yarn at your chosen gauge in your chosen size, using her percentage system.

I don't know we the pattern, but it's very pretty.

You can use the sweater pattern generator at knitting fool. Sweaters - Knittingfool Your sweater would be the set in sleeve version. I have used the sweater generator with success. To make it a cardigan you would just need to split the front stitch count in half knitting the right and left fronts separately. If you need a pattern with more detail you can find many basic cardigan options on ravelry.
Most of the pattern stitch sections look like mosaic knitting.
The hem is several row of garter stitch, but it appears to have a wave to it so my guess is that it has one row of old shale stitch pattern to create the wave before beginning the body patterns.
Each mosaic pattern is preceded and followed by 3 garter ridges (a ridge worked flat is 2 rows of knit), 1 ridge variegated, 1 ridge contrast color, 1 ridge variegated.
Between each mosaic panel is a section of plain stockinette. you can either try to count the rows in you photo or take measurements from your sister's sweater.
The mosaic patterns both appear to be 3 row patterns with a garter ridge (2 rows) in variegated between the each pattern.
The checkerboardish sections are a ridge of garter in the variegated, then change to contrast work Knit 3, slip 1 (the contrast stitch) work 2 more rows of stockinette always slipping the variegated stitch. The checkerboard is worked 3 time with the garter ridge between.
The other mosaic pattern looks like it might be a combination of stranded and a simple knit 1 slip one. It's hard to tell, but after the garter ridge it looks like 1 row of K1 varigated, K1, contrast, second row knit (p if WS) across in contrast, 3rd row k1, sl1 contrast.
The Greek may have been worked in mosaic knitting, rather than stranded stranded as I earlier suggested. Here is a version for the Greek key, the sweater is knit in stockinette version of mosaic (just purl the WS rather than knit) rather than the garter version in this free link pattern. knitting.

The button bands looks the same as the Elizabeth Zimmerman technique I posted earlier.

I would say that you can replicate it by counting things out. Try needle sizes in the stitches to help determine what size to use and the heft of the yarn should be pretty obvious.
Count stitches and then rows and not the patterns in each section, then the decreases for the neckband. Same with sleeve taper. Then swatching to get your gauge.

Here is another idea

Colour Your Own pattern by Ann Bourgeois
Pattern is available as part of a kit or in the book. It was also published in Knitter’s Magazine 24, Fall 1991, Alpine Knits, as Vienna Woods. The child’s size version is Jenna Louise.
