Description: Aran weight sweaters for him and for her with drop shoulder line and a cross-over cowl neckline that puts this pattern perhaps into the late 70s, I think.

Note that I also have pattern number 1395 listed, but this style seems more mid-70s; however the two patterns must be of the same era.
