A 1917 World War I relief pattern book published by Allies Special Aid in New York, with proceeds going to the Allies. It collects knitting and crochet directions for soldiers, sailors, hospitals, and children: sweaters, jackets, wristlets, socks, mittens, helmets and caps, abdominal bands, knee caps, comfort bags, and ambulance blankets (including one with an American flag centre). Instructions are given in stitch counts and yarn and needle requirements, many credited to yarn companies and contributors such as Mrs. Horace Leeds. Some patterns have silhouette or photo illustrations, and the back pages carry advertisements.
