Description: Perfectly plain roll or V-neck sweaters for Him and Her. A very popular design for the sixties, where hand knitting was not the height of fashion. Instructions for 4 ply or DK.
There is a heavy horizontal crease and a tear at the bottom edge plus a few biro marks - none of which obscure the instructions.
