Exercises in Knitting

A practical manual offering detailed knitting patterns and step-by-step receipts for chair covers, shawls, caps, muffs, stockings, edgings and household items. Each pattern specifies materials (pins, wool/thread, colours), stitch counts and row-by-row instructions, with variants for size and decorative effects. Collections of numbered patterns demonstrate openwork and textured stitches—German, Nun's, Viennoise, coral patterns and more—plus guidance on finishing techniques, borders, fringes and colour arrangement to adapt designs for doilies, garments, and domestic furnishings.
