Mothers of All Young Americans
The season of 1946-47 promises to be the biggest of all seasons in knitting—you'll be
knitting for the boys at camp—and in your spare time for the young Americans who are at
the Fireside with you. So—Mothers, get out your knitting needles or crocheting hooks and
relax in a nice big chair, turn on your radio to some soothing music, unwind your yarn—and
in the pages of this book will be enough inspiration to make Mr. and Miss Young America
the world's best dressed Children. There are Infants and Juvenile Styles cleverly and
colorfully designed—and the Smart Young Miss has her day too, for there are some
Garments that will be sure to meet with her approval and needs.
We sincerely hope that this book will be of invaluable use to those who "Knit Smartly".
