This is a wonderful vintage sweater made in a pullover style by Kenneth Pirrie of Australia.  Pirrie (1934-1999) was an influential Melbourne based designer during the 1960s and 70s.  The sweater is knit in red with patterning in teal, yellow, blue, pink and red.  It has a crew neckline, dropped shoulders with long sleeves and ribbing along the neckline, the bottom and the cuffs.  The sweater is made in a comfortable oversized style. 

Age: 1970s, maybe 1980s.  It is difficult to date Pirrie as there is a lack of information on the net about him.  Stylistically, it looks to me to date to the late 70s / early 80s period.
