A 1918 Priscilla Publishing Co. pattern book of knitted cotton, linen and silk articles, edited by Belle Robinson. It opens with an introduction and basic instruction in knitting (holding needles, casting on, plain, purl, ribbing, moss stitch, fagoting), then gives row-by-row directions for cameo (two-colour) knitting, lace insertions and edgings, filet knitting with charts, Torchon-pattern collars, baby bonnets, bags, doilies, counterpane blocks and large centrepieces. Most pages carry photographs of the finished pieces, with some charts for cameo and filet designs. Advertisements for the Priscilla Initial Outfit and Modern Priscilla magazine appear at the front and back.
