Calypso uses two of my favorite yarns:
Spincycle Yarns Dyed In The Wool along with Rowan Felted Tweed in 2-colour colourwork that looks like a lot more than 2 colours thanks to Spincycle's colour-changing magic. I love how complex the yoke looks, with areas that are high contrast and low contrast intermingling.

I've added some sweet little details on this jumper that I really love, particularly the picot edge neckline and hem.
The body length is slightly cropped, and the sleeves are 3/4 length. I have found this jumper to have a great fit, and while pulling off quite a striking look, it feels like a comfy sweatshirt to wear!

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.

Sizing:

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.
