Unabridged republication of the original 1943 edition, published in 1972, and written by Mary Thomas.
This book contains the fruits of centuries of experience and invention in knitting, and is quite possibly the best single manual of knitting patterns ever written. The author begins with the basics, with the distinction between knit and purl sides of the fabric and the use of simple black and white charts to present patterns. She then introduces a new motif or design in each chapter. Charts, diagrams, and photographs are used liberally along with text.
