Description: Plain sweaters with high necks. The pattern is worn with a strong vertical crease (not shown), but this does not affect the instructions. I am not wholly sure what weight "tripleknit" was - all the yarn companies at the time produced "triple knitting" wools for a while. From the tension and needle size I assume it's like an aran or heavy worsted.
