Seven binders of machine-knitting references bring together garment instructions, illustrated stitch techniques, pictorial charts, and handwritten working notes. The pages move from shaping and sizing sweaters to decorative surfaces, including popcorn stitches, pin-tucked diamonds, and three-dimensional triangles. Charts of flowers, deer, and trees offer motifs to work into the knitted fabric, while illustrated patterns show textured sweaters in children's and adult sizes. Comb-bound booklets and magazines accompany the binders. Named publications include Denys Brunton Designer Yarns Pattern Book Nineteen, Men in Design for the Standard Machine, Brother Fashion Magazine Issue No. 1, and Hallandall's Punch-Another-Bunch: A Collection of Original Punchcard Designs. Together, the practical directions and design charts provide a working library for planning garments and varying their stitch patterns. The largest binder measures approximately 11.75" x 3" x 11.75" tall.
