Description: This is a plain sweater with slight interest in the welt by using a broken rib stitch.
The pattern is very creased which affects the photo but not the instructions.
"Triple knitting" yarn appeared in all the main manufacturers product lines in the 1960s; although more or less an Aran or worsted weight it did not seem to become popular enough to gain the traction in the UK to replace double knitting as the standard yarn.
