Calypso Sweater
Calypso Sweater is a circular yoke pullover that uses the magic of
color-changing yarns to create an intriguing yoke design, and features sweet picot edge details on both the neckline and hem, along with ¾ length sleeves, ribbed cuffs and a relaxed slightly cropped fit.
Construction:
Calypso Sweater is a yoke-style pullover knit seamlessly from the top-down in the round, with a double-rolled picot neckline, colorwork yoke, slightly cropped body with a double-rolled picot hem, and 3/4-length sleeves.

Notions:
Tapestry needle (for finishing) Stitch Markers- at least 1 distinct marker for BOR
Yarn:
C1: Spincycle Yarns Dyed In The Wool (100% wool, sport-weight/5 ply, 183m/200y per 50g)

color pictured: French Mustard (shade 216)
Or similar yarns that can achieve gauge
Note: I find Rowan Felted Tweed to be a lighter DK-weight, which is why it pairs nicely with Spincycle Dyed In The Wool and knit at a sport-weight gauge. Please bear this in mind if substituting yarns- I recommend sport to light-DK weights.
