First edition of The Universal Knitting Book, published in 1890.
The first edition of the handbook published by John Paton & Son, which was republished several times until the 1920s (when it was superseded by Patons & Baldwins’ Woolcraft). There is considerable overlap with the 4th edition of 1913, but many differences too. It has been split here into four parts.
This scanned copy has been split into four parts.
- Part 1 has the index to the whole booklet and chapters on knitting socks & stockings; and vests. (17 pages)
- Part 2 has patterns for underwear (combinations & drawers); jerseys, sweaters & jackets; and boots & slippers. (12 pages)
- Part 3 covers petticoats; hoods, clouds & caps; scarves, comforters and shawls. (14 pages)
- Part 4 has the section on crochet, and a chapter with simple knitting & crochet patterns for children. (20 pages)
