A 1918 World War I pattern book giving directions for seventy knitted, crocheted and sewn articles for soldiers and sailors. Projects include helmets, mufflers, gloves and mittens (including steering, rifle and mine-sweeper types), jerseys, sweaters, waistcoats, body belts, socks and stockings, plus sewn items such as a money belt and chamois leather undershirt, drawers and socks, and crocheted or knitted silk ties. Preliminary instructions cover yarns (with illustrated wool samples), needles, and techniques such as Swiss darning, and a needle gauge is included. An introduction by the author's husband, Delancey Nicoll, explains the book's origin.
