KHAKI KNITTING BOOK. originally published in 1917. This book is not an instruction book, but for those who are familiar with the art of knitting the articles therein will be found practical and easy to make. Many of the earliest books on weaving, textiles and needlework, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.

Remember those exquisite crochet projects that your grandmother used to make? This beautiful book is filled to the brim with more than 75 authentic patterns from before 1950. To make the patterns easy to follow, we asked our crochet editors to update the instructions and restitch the projects with today's yarns and threads. You'll love stitching these wonderful crocheted treasures from yesterday!
