Comprehensive in scope and elegant in presentation; this classic Victorian-era volume was the first complete how-to guide to knitting. Originally published by Butterick; the company that later produced Vogue Knitting; it constitutes a fantastic historical document as well as an easy-to-follow guide for knitters at all levels of experience. In addition to basic knitting instructions and a dictionary of stitches; the book offers illustrated patterns for dozens of projects; including sweaters; scarves; hats; and other items for women; men; and children. Starting with a chapter of general directions; the guide presents examples of fancy stitches; including edging designs for mittens and socks; borders for scarves and shawls; and knitted edgings and insertions. Ladies apparel and accessories include hoods; capes; shawls; jackets; fascinators; leggings; and many other projects. Menswear includes sweaters; belts; scarves; ties; and more. In addition to childrens clothing and toys; the book also features patterns for counterpanes; spreads; doilies; mats; and other household articles.
