Offered here is a charming piece of mid-century American craft history: the Minerva Style Book, Volume 71, published by James Lees & Sons Company. This small-format knitting pattern booklet dates to approximately 1946 based on the copyright information visible inside, and originally retailed for just 25 cents. The booklet features a wide variety of women's knitting patterns including cardigans, slipover sweaters, dresses, suits, capes, and blouses. Named patterns include 'Star-Sapphire,' 'Companions,' 'Colony Club,' 'That Casual Dress,' 'Pond Lily,' and many more. Each pattern includes detailed written instructions, materials lists, and gauge information for multiple Minerva yarn types. The index cross-references patterns by yarn type, making it easy for knitters to find projects suited to their preferred Minerva yarn, including Featherdown, Sports Yarn, Fingering Yarn, Featherweight Knitting Worsted, Sock & Sweater Yarn, Pompadour Yarn, and Afghan Germantown. Sizes range from 14 to 20 throughout. Black and white photographs of elegantly dressed women modeling the finished garments are featured throughout the interior, capturing the sophisticated fashion aesthetic of the 1940s. The back cover features a full advertisement for Lees Minerva Hand-Knitting Yarns. Condition is Fair. The cover shows notable wear including creasing, scuffing, corner splitting, and light surface scratches. Interior pages are uniformly yellowed/toned with age but are fully intact and legible. No inscriptions, library markings, or ownership stamps are present. A wonderful and usable vintage collectible for knitting enthusiasts and mid-century fashion historians alike.
