Three Second Kiss
Inspired by the bohus sweaters popular during this era the Three Second Kiss sweater is worked in angora and cashmere blend yarns with knit and purl patterning in the color work yoke and cuffs. Only two colors are worked in any one round to keep the knitting (somewhat) more simple.
Construction notes 
This sweater is worked seamlessly in the round with turned hems and a circular yoke. The V neck is steeked into the yoke after the knitting is finished. The V and the neckline bind off are all finished with i-cord trim. 
When working the stranded colorwork the white colors should be held dominant (closer to the fabric) over gray and red is dominant over white.
