Calypso Sweater is worked top-down. The neckline is worked first, followed by short rows for the front neck shaping, before the rest of the yoke is worked in the round with raglan increases. The pattern repeat is easy to memorize and relaxing to knit once established. The pattern continues on both body and sleeves, and the fit is straight with double rib at the neck, cuffs and hem. The decorative cord can be threaded directly through the neckline stitches. Difficulty: Intermediate. Construction: Top-down, seamless raglan yoke. Yarn: Peruvian Filcolana (50 g = 100 m).
