Manuscript instructions for needlework, knitting and crocheting projects, by an unidentified compiler. The volume includes several diagrams, and an index (at front) of the projects included therein. There are designs for a "soldier's helmet," tennis net, babies' shoes, grandmama's fringe for toilet covers, slippers &c. There are numerous blank pages at the end.
Also present is an inserted folded sheet with 16 examples of crochet work.
