Frankenberg Co. New York 'CIA532727 SEP -9 1919 UTOPIA YARN BO O K Introductory Remarks N this, the Fourteenth Edition of the Utopia Yarn Book, you will find many exceptionally novel ideas for Knitting and Crocheting, embody- ing a carefully selected line of the very latest creations of Sw^eater Coats. All the new^ and most delightful garments and articles illustrated throughout this book ow^e a great deal of their charm to the fact that they have been worked with Utopia Yarns. Their excellence lies not only in their softness, elasticity and even- ness of thread, but in the variety of styles and brilliant color lines as well. To secure the best results in the Art of Knitting and Crocheting, only the best yarns should be used. We there- fore recommend this book (for instructions) and Utopia Yarns to attain this end. There is a Utopia Yarn for every purpose. UTOPIA YARN BOOK The Recognized Manual of Knitting and Crocheting To avoid committing the error so frequently made of publishing a lot of directions that are difficult to understand, or which mvolve an amount of labor all out of proportion to the result attained, we have employed a well- known expert to write the instructions in the Utopia Yarn Book. Every one of the standard stitches is so clearly illustrated and the directions are so con- cise and to the point, that the novice will have no difficulty in understanding them, while the great number of novelties illustrated make the book of unusual interest and value to the expert. Full and explicit instructions are given right from the making of the stitch to the completion of the finished garment, while the styles selected in every case are such as afford an excellent return for the work involved.
